Don't you hate it when someone just picks up your instermint to 'have
a look' or feel without asking first?
Even when someone asks to 'have a bash', they seem to assume that it's
ok before you can say No Thank You with a pursed smile. I remember
seeing some guy hold and play someone's Gilchrist at
Instruments by definition are tools of music. They're meant to be
touched, felt, strummed, whatever. If we make them more significant
than their sound and capability then they deserve to be preserved in a
glass case. I ask that you respect my instruments, just like I ask
that you respect my tools,

I agree, except for the time in an adult ed mando class when someone
picked up my prize and proceeded to bang it against the table. Now it
happens that kind of thing, accidents, I have em too, and he did ask,
but if I pick up somebody else's then I want to first ask, get a yes
and then touch it

I agree with you , Mark. I play a few different mandolins, each of
which is over 80 years old. They have made it this far and are in
great shape. I can't imagine what a person who would want to check
the mandolin out and play a tune or two could do to hurt my
instrument. Then again,
Touch without asking? Yes I would mind unless it's a friend.But
honestly I like when other people play my instruments; you truly get
to hear them that way.
The other night a fellow played my guitar all night at a session and I

Bob,
Not a list to speak of. Just was sitting in front of the computer
after finishing the last chart and reading a few blurbs here. Thinking
about keeping an open mind and the fingers did the rest. Not
reflection so much as train of thought rambling.
Staying on the road.

Ask before you touch. I think that Mark's point is good; instruments
are meant to be played. But, you wouldn't go over to a carpenter's
toolbox and pull out his hammer without asking without there being
repercussions. It's the principle of the thing. Also, I'd say it would
be behoove the owner to
My point is just that. Be respectful, asking is preferred, but they
are meant to be played. I'm not going to cringe whether you're the
best or a beginner.

Yeah, it's good to take stock every now and then. My fiance and I have been
running around for months with obligations and we have two weddings coming up
in October. I long for a little down time by myself. Still, nothing to
complain about and as long as life is full it's good.

Well, I reckon a man would need to take stock of how much liquor his
company can put away too. Are we talking about Old Grand Dad or Pappy
VanWinkle? I mean, if we're talking about good whiskey, at the risk
of sounding like a tightwad, I'd say keep it locked up until the
gulpers are gone.
Would
True. I reckon the Old Crow in a plastic bottle could stay out on the table.

They're meant to be played but it's polite to ask first. My good
pickin' buddies know that they can grab anything I own and play away
but they almost always ask first anyway. It's nice to know that
decent human behavior isn't completely gone!

It does matter to me who does the asking. An experienced mandolin
player who understands and values the instrument, is very different
than someone who has not played much, and does not understand the
value of the item he/she is holding, personal and intrinsic. I am
honored if someone plays mine
