  1. Re: electric solid body mandola with a scale of 40cm (15.75 inch)

    Good idea! Thanks. Maybe I will do this if I don't find another solution.
  2. Re: electric solid body mandola with a scale of 40cm (15.75 inch)

    I don't worry about my fingers. I worry about my right hand. Picking one string is completely different from picking two strings. Especially when playing fast and/or tremolo. I want the electric...

    Thanks for this tip.

    They don't seem to offer 8-string mandolas.
  4. electric solid body mandola with a scale of 40cm (15.75 inch)

    Hello,

    I have a 40cm (15.75 inch) scale mandola. The major advantage of this instrument is that I can use exactly the same fingerings on it as on the mandolin. The major disadvantage of my mandola...

    Re: tremolo with tuplets

    If that is the case, then I would certainly not call it accelerando and ritardando.
    I couldn't hear the extra strokes in the given examples. Maybe I didn't listen thoroughly enough. It would be...

    First, I would like to thank JeffD, Mark Robertson-Tessi and Beanzy for posting the examples. I didn't have time yet to listen to Beanzy's examples. But I listened to JeffD's and Mark...

    Re: tremolo with tuplets

    I think the first step in practicing something should always be to learn to play it with the highest precision possible. (I am often too lazy to follow this principle, though.) I wouldn't mind...

    Re: tremolo with tuplets

    Music is all about soul. But before you can dare to think about the soul of a piece of music, you have to be able to play the right notes and to play them cleanly and rhythmically. No math, no soul....

    Re: tremolo with tuplets

    Thanks to all who participated in this thread so far.

    As concerns the tip to subdivide the triplet 1/4 notes evenly, I had also though of that. The problem with this method is that 1/16 notes...

    How is tremolo used with triplets and other tuplets?

    Swedish polskas often contain 1/4 triplets. The
    attached file gives an example of this. As I play some of the polskas
