In the US atleast mandolins are also a cooking utensil that creates thin slices of vegetables by sliding them across a flat surface with a blade attached.
If you haven’t heard of Tony Iommi, he was (is?) the guitarist for Black Sabbath who cut two of his fingertips off, on his fretting hand, in some kind of shop accident at work.
Despite this, he popped on a couple of thimbles and proceeded to basically invent the power chord and was a pioneer of guitar riffage.
You only lost one, so you’ve already got one-up on him!
The right hand of V-3’s Jim Shepard was pulled into a wood planer machine, resulting in significant damage to two fingers and minor injuries to others. After being rushed to the hospital, a plastic surgeon performed multiple surgeries, including two flesh grafts and a bone graft. The recovery process was challenging, involving his hand being temporarily attached to his groin to facilitate healing.
Once they cut it loose again, he resumed playing guitar with the hand still completely bandaged and released one of V-3’s finest records, “Negotiate Nothing”, later that same year.
I played guitar for 3 years until I cut the tip of my finger off with a mandolin. Literally haven’t touched it since
Does mandolin have more than one meaning? I know it as type of lute instrument, but I can’t imagine someone cutting theirself on one.

Django Reinhardt had pretty bad damage to his fretting hand too from a fire, and that dude shredded like no other.
Literally lol… Forced constraints and limitations are often a huge impetus for creating great art.
I used to paint and draw daily every day for 5 years. Then i tried 3d. Used to do it every day for 8 years. Then i tried programming.
