I've been away from the cafe for a few days so I missed this, but Eugene is correct. I'm pretty sure that they were playing Neapolitan mandolins. The mandolin came here from Italy by way of England,...
Hi all
Just posted on my blog about a new discovery: a piece for (Milanese) mandolin and piano from München ca. 1850. It's dedicated to Johann Cramer, a mandolin player active in the royal chapel...
Hey Neil and other curious minds,
glad I was able to help but as you know from having read the Vincent Leon chapter in IMHIA, I left Leon in limbo. Pieces of his puzzle were missing. Well, thanks...
YES!

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...
This is one I'd been eyeing for a while for a possible solo mandolin arrangement. I finally sat down and put something together this week. I worked it all out on my Gibson A-4, but at the last...
It's that time again, kids. Where else is this being celebrated on the internets?
Searching around for information on the man and ended up here. Don't think I've seen that page in 15 years.

Hi Eugene,
#13 is one of the most beautiful of the liuto preludes, IMHO. My liuto needs a fair amount of work at the moment...
In imslp.org comment that: "This song doesn't seem to have Neapolitan origin; probably it comes from middle Europe and was notated and arranged by G. Cottrau." Since the Cottrau, father and son,...

It's written, or half-written by AI. :(
Thanks Eugene for your answer.
