I warned my wife that if I learn to play this that I may have to try fiddle next because of the tuning. It does help that they are just 2 fingers! :)

Yeah Derek, it's only upside down if you compare it to a guitar. It's the same tuning as a fiddle and at least you have frets on a mando. Looks like you picked up some nice 2 finger chords quickly.

Thanks Jim. I have a long way to go getting used to this little fretboard and the upside down chords but this mando is a ton of fun! 

Thanks James O! This was my little pawn shop find last week.
