How is a Ukulele different than a Mandolin? Which one is harder to pick up?

Narf. I've been playing the mandoline since i was 9 and never touched an ukulele or guitar, but rest assured of one thing - mandoline strings (metal, double strings = essentially an egg cutter) hurt. Apart from that, i don't think theres a huge difference when starting from scratch.


Anyways, having said that i play the mandoline - what would trying to learn the ukulele do to me? (uku GCEA vs mando GDAE, both 4 strings) Would i most likely pick it up naturally or end up not being able to play either? :psyduck:

Also, is the gripping system the same as on mandoline/violin?
