Topic: Mandolin lacerates my fingers

Over  the  past  couple  of  years  Ive  been trying  to  play  a  bit  of  mandolin   and  always  found  it   difficult  to  press  the  strings  down ,However today I  tried  a  set  of  extra light  strings .Much  better  and  easier .Ive  noticed  on other  forums guitar  players  complain of  the  same  thing ,get  a  set  of  9's on and  you'll  be  amazed  at  the  difference .

I have never tried out a mandolin,but I do hope to some day,glad you found some relief in lighter strings.
