Painful to hear about. There's little or no recourse either.

Unless there's insurance.

Some people don't know the close relationship of the mandolin to the violin. With the same tuning, all the finger patterns of each song/tune are the same on both instruments.

Some musicologists actually claim that a mandolin IS A violin. A violin that you play like a guitar.
