  4. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    Re: New recording of Hoffmann's quartets

    I just bought it on iTunes for the bargain price of 6.99. I'll listen tomorrow, but the digital booklet says that he "plays on a mandolin built by Daniele Orlandi, modelled on a 1792 instrument by...
