Triolet du jour

Today's instrument is the mandolin, which I would love to play if it didn't slice my fingertips -- ow! The great thing is, though, if my fingertips ever toughen, the strings correspond to the strings of a violin.

Triolet – Music – Mandolin

How distinct the sound of the mandolin
A sound as musical as its name
It can play as smoothly as lanolin
How distinct the sound of the mandolin
But harder to play that the violin
The wires cut the fingertips causing pain
How distinct the sound of the mandolin
A sound as musical as its name
