I play from 1 year now, octave mandolin.
I can play very fast reel, but i don't succeed to play triplet on full chords ( not on 1 strings but on all the strings) when i play a reel without do a break after...
You know, like Donnal Lunny. I like this effect.:laugh:
Have you a method to play it ? ( pick angle, wrist position..)
Thanks for helpful ! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

better be more specific as to which tune - there are 24 sound samples on the link
It's not too hard. Loose wrist is the trick. Practice strumming, it's hard to get much more specific. It's likely a DUDUDU pattern on a reel, DUD DUD or DDU DDU on a jig.. Try practicing on just 2, then three courses.. then up to however many you have!

Ok, you can listen an extract, it's a the start 0.7 secondes http://cbom.free.fr/sounds/21.mp3
Loose wrist definitely. A soft plectrum might also be a help.

I can't reach that one either but this one (http://cbom.free.fr/sounds/20.mp3) sounds like Tuvan throat singing.
There is a directory of tunes but no 21.mp3
Coud it be this one (http://cbom.free.fr/sounds/11.mp3)?

Could somebody please tell us who is playing on that clip? The whistle and Octave Mandola (I presume it's an OM) are great!

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif I thought you were asking about how you could improve your playing! If I could play my own Freshwater Octave Mandola THAT well, I wouldn't be looking for tips on how to improve!
Well done!
