Yeah. Part 2 (3,4) have been on there a while. It’s tougher to find part 1 (1,2). Hopefully we can get it added to IMSLP.

Good news for those of us in the US. The Art of the Mandolin has officially entered into the public domain. It’s a great book so I’m hoping to see some copies legally spread around now.
Thanks Jim. I’ll be happy to post the file in Bass Clef here later. I have one more Mandocello method book. It’s not nearly as nice as this one, but I’m considering transcribing into Dorico for...
Those are two beautiful instruments
Finally, here for your enjoyment, is the Bass Clef Version of the Bickford Mandocello Method. I'd still say it's in draft phase, but hey, it's here and hopefully there aren't too many errors or...
Took a trip to Kansas City this weekend to Bradford Company Fret Shop to pick up two new instruments. I've wanted a matched pair of a Mandolin and Mandola and I found the legendary Authur Stern...
I’d love to hear this piece done with the horn as a solo mandola and then the mandocello play the trombone part and a bass playing the tuba part, but it is a very nice arrangement of the pieces.

It's finally here. Not sure why I'm having trouble uploading the whole file itself to the board, so I just put it into 4 parts.
This is the Universal Clef version...
Yeah, I like to print mine off and bind them myself so any print on demand version is great for me. I really look forward working through them! Thank you for creating more studies for the...
Good news to my fellow Mandocello enthusiasts. The first draft is just about done. Everything is entered and formatted to a point, now I’m doing the rough first run through for errors. It’s in...
Great Stuff John. Very excellent.

Awe heck, I'm feeling generous.
Remember, the page numbers and layouts aren't done yet, and there's no proof reading yet. So there may be errors, but it's close to what the layouts...
I will say, I certainly agree with you to a point. Having a copyright is meant to be a protection so that a persons works will not be profited by another individual and group. It was also a...
to give an update pgs. 75-end are complete. most of the first 10 pages are complete also. i started working back to front since I figured those would have the most music to transcribe. if anyone...
There will be a bass clef version, a g clef version (for octave), and a tab version minimum.
I'm doing this more as a labor of love right now. The plans are to get something out there that...
I know they’re not free, but the 4 Bickford are available from the django site. About $48 all together. I bought all of mine there.
The pettine is still under copyright but I have my own...
I want to thank everyone for reaching out. To let half a cat out of the bag, the reason why I’m collecting this is to reissue the original Mando-cello method (1913 copyright, it is in the public...
I play a lot of different mandolins in a classical style. The previous posts are correct. Picks can be very personal. Of the 10 mandolin members I play on, I can tell you, no two picks sound the...
Considering I got this book for a steal, I feel that I should at least write an honest review of this work for Neil.
First, if you like professional level classical music, there are very few...
Close. Concerto for oboe and violin.

One of my favorites.
I got a Breedlove prototype and it's by far my favorite mandolin to play. I'm with you. Let your fingers do the walking. It sounds great and plays great.
I thought in honor of the gallatin mandocello and soprano mandolin being removed from production, I'd post my two family members. They're no frills, no binding, but so much fun to play.
Now I...
I think in a full mandolin orchestra, the tremolo would be a little less distinctive, so I can see those long slurred passages played that way, but for a quartet I like your musical interpretation.
Can't wait to see your videos with it.
I'm taking lessons from Caterina Lichtenberg online, and yes she agrees that all down strokes should be "rest strokes" at a 45 degree angle... Now there are exceptions like fast passages and certain...
