       Picked up a new #hobby this year. I've had my dad's old #guitar for years, and never really learned to play it. Last year, I learned that when he was young, he had played #mandolin with his brother and father. I also learned his old mandolin was still around, in my uncle's hands. He happily gave it to me this past December, and I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't picked it up since.

       I love this thing! Learning to play also renewed my interest in guitar, which I've also decided to pick up since then. While learning to play, I found that I was really interested in stringed instruments in general. They're fascinating!I started learning about what goes into making instruments at a professional level, which led to learning about the rich history of people making them at home. Of course, this peaked my interest.

       That's where one of my other hobbies came in! I decided I'd try my hand at #3Dprinting my first homemade instrument. I found a really cool travel #ukulele design that I decided would work great for me. I love this thing, it is funky and weird, and the last thing I'd expect to find in a store; perfect for printing. And made one for myself (blue), and another for my roommate (white/brown). For his, I stuck with the standard uke tuning, for mine, I kept with the weird theme and tuned to GDAE.
