Back in 2011, the amazing Zoukfest team, superbly led by Roger Landes, had Greek trichordo specialist Alec Finn over again to demonstrate his unique style, accompanying the top Irish banjoist Brian...

“El árbol del cariño” (The tree of affection) is a popular song from Rio de la Plata region.
Simple, nice and easy piece I recorded for my students for practicing and playing along.

I always heard mandolin music was cool, and here that notion is affirmed

I got Phil Davidson to make me my dream mandolin. We used some very innovative techniques to get where we wanted.
I reckon he's at the peak of his craftsmanship now & often sources his woods from...

Hi everyone. Our new Wavelength octave is in production now. Our first batch is finishing up and is in the setup process. We got a little behind with all the summer festivals and the general pace and...

I'm pretty certain than many of us would probably not be playing Celtic music (and indeed Eastern European music) on the mandolin or bouzouki if it weren't for Andy Irvine. And he seems to be still...

My apologies I have found the answer to my own question in the forum archive. The strings I’m looking for are ROUXINOL.:)

I've never seen a mahogany top on a mandolin, but it would surely make music. However, it would sound quite different.

My guess is the differences would be similar to those on all mahogany guitars...

I have not.

Mahogany is a well known top wood, but outside of some ukuleles and my nice Santa Cruz guitar I don't have experience with it as a sound...

This is a version of Here, there and everywhere by the Beatles. Sounds nice on the octave, I think.

Hi mandolinists,

In sympathy with the Ukrainian people, I wanted to share a Ukrainian folk tune, a waltz in Am, with staff notation and TAB.

The TAB is just the most basic version, I often...

Celtic mandolin recordings...,.is that better?

The Bottom Line

I’ve spent the last few days putting this instrument through the paces.
I am both happy and disappointed at the same time. This is an odd instrument.

I would ordinarily keep...

Often it is played solo, but it is also used in saz ensembles.

It's not that new, I've seen them for at least 50 years. Supposedly it was often played on horseback in the old days.

First, the pitches are relative - they are written as GDA but can be any actual pitch - CGD, BbFC, DAE, etc.

Second, the cura can be set up either so the the outside strings are in octaves, or...
