Octava Mandolin Improvisations video

[magic-marmelade]

By editing this video, i realized it is really a work in progress.
I met a Mandolin few years ago in a trash container, and decided to give it a second life. Since then, i got tempted by a lower tone than the traditionnal mandolin. Octava Mandolin crossed my way, and i give it a try.
Here is the result of a few discoveries made on octava, last few weeks.
Not giving any lesson there, just wishing to share this love for an instrument with a lot of history...
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing that. I really enjoyed it.

I'm hoping to get a looper next month and start playing with it. What effects are you using? Delay?

Thanks again
John

nearly no effect here, just bit of slow tremolo to give a bit of this lamp amp...effect but the room i was recording in has terrific reverb... way too much... but last week end i recorded again in the forest... so some magic marmelade with better sounds is hopefully to come!

Really enjoyed that, been thinking about selling one of my guitars to bankroll and octave. You just kicked things up a notch.
