Need a Mandolin?

I don't suppose anyone needs a mandolin except for mandolinists (sp?) but it might be nice to have around the studio, just for kicks. If you have children who are in a music program, you may have need for this product but if you are simply a musician, foley artist, or audio recorder in some capacity, a mandolin might come in pretty handy at times.  After all, it certainly does not have to  be used as directed, so it may prove useful for certain projects that demand that "mandolin feel."
