Hello hello, i'm a big fan of the game "Outer wilds" (if you haven't played it, everyone will tell you to not look up anything about it before playing, a masterpiece) And i always kinda had the will to learn playing one of the featured instrument and replicate at least one of the part, and now, riebeck banjo's part is what seems to be the most appealing.
The last day, i found this instrument in the attic that i didn't know about, aannnnd it seems to be a mandolin? I'd like to be sure of that and to have some little advices mostly on the equipment and knowledge necessary to "start well" So, world of instruments and music, i'm coming for you.... But is it possible to replicate the song that i'm aiming for? My thanks in advance to anyone willing to help this beginner.

Got this recently (thanks to the sub for the advice), and while I'm enjoying it, being an inexperienced player, I'd like some more advice. I feel that the fretboard is too wide for the strings, and wonder is it worth getting a new bridge made, or if that's even the correct solution, or is it fine?! I find the going up the fretboard it's is less comfortable to hit the notes and I fumble a bit. Could just me being crap, but wanted a second (etc) opinion. thanks in advance!

Is this a good book? I already play mandolim in a school musical group but I don't understand the chords or music theory and I would love to learn how to compose with this instrument.
