Thanks to Kuno for finding these errors!

That one is very nice also. Yes, the more I play them the more I like them. I put thomastik’s on the mandolin but I’m not convinced it’s the sound I’m looking for. Still debating what to put on...

Beautiful also!

Those are two beautiful instruments

Yes and No. The nicest part of the piccolo mandolin is you have a very easy play up to the high C 3 octaves above middle C. Also you can play open to fifth position on all of the strings pretty...

Yeah I bought mine to predominately make it easier to do flute music, but I was hoping to hear some use it in the orchestral way to double high lines.

Hey everyone. I was just wondering how many people out here actually play the piccolo mandolin? I have a weber gallatin tuned CGDA a fourth above the regular mandolin. They call that one the...

I will check the catalog. I’m sure they have something there worth having! :). Thanks for the offer.

Awesome Joe. Great Job!!

Surprisingly usable... with good technique :)

11.85" big enough for ya??

honestly it does get use. It's very easy to use when learning chord tremolo as the pick will not fall between the strings and...

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.

Try looking at the positions pages on the Bickford Mandocello method in the other forum post. It’s actually really good with suggested fingerings for most of the positions.

Very good points. I agree, I have a 24.75” scale and very long fingers so even reaching the notes with the 3rd finger instead of the 4th sometimes becomes a question on comfort.

I will say this...

Hello Friends.

So after going through the method, I thought now would be a good time to open up a discussion of mandocello specific techniques and how best to learn them. Here’s just a few of...

That is a beautiful instrument. I would love a Gibson K-4, but I’m also very happy with my Weber Gallatin Mandocello. I saw that Weber made a 10 string mandocello at one time. That would be the...

My favorite pick is the big city and tf-140 pick by Wegen picks. The big city is Like a more rounded teardrop jazz pick, I have no issues with it at all on any string,. ...

I'm a classical player, and I actually prefer heavier, rounder picks, but then again, I actually prefer the fuller, rounder sound to the tinny, shrill sound. Truly to each their own.

Thanks everyone. Just a few answers.

Martin G-Clef will be coming probably after the Tab version is done (which I'm working on now). The biggest issue with that is the mandolin and guitar...

I think it would be a fun exercise to have some experts weigh in on the situation because we are dealing with definitely different levels of copyright law here. I can only speak to a few of the...

The copy I was taking from was 1915, so yes 100% this is a public domain work worldwide.

My college career was spent studying copyright so i am careful about what sources I pull from and if I can...

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...
