I went to see it. The neck was straight, but there was a shim under the rosewood bridge. The bridge was not in place. I didn't try to move it as there was a small, almost invisible crack going from...
I looked at it again and the pick guard actually matched the island of Sicily
Hi Mick,
I am always around watching posts, mostly in the classic area. This is my favorite place.
The bridge is just tilted. That's a good thing because it means that there is no pressure on the...

I found this one on our local market. I have too many mandolins but the asking price is around 65 USD. I am very tempted to get myself a Christmas present. I already have a flat back...
I made this a few years back but did not publish it. It's from Caro Munier Guitar method.
Divertimento. The book has some interesting pieces for mandolin.
It's not the complete Divertimento, sorry,...
Thanks Eugene. I should be more specific. But I always am looking for scores showing what the pick does, in order to get closer to what the composer intended.
One more question, what is the...
What's the picking pattern. What should the right hand be doing?
I hate changing strings. I don't find it that difficult, I have been doing it for almost 10 years now. But I don't like very much the sometimes metallic sound of new strings. I only have bowl backs...
Thanks Joe. I did my searches with Amedeo in both English and Italian. Lots of scores available, but could not find Aria del 700.
I even checked the scores in the Nakano library. However there are...
I am looking for the score sheet of this piece.
Any idea where to find it. Thanks

There is this bowlback on our local market for the equivalent of 100 USD
I was thinking of buying it and do the repair. The photos attached are what I have for the moment, I did not...
Thanks Jairo. The site is of great value.
I join you in thanking Martin Jonas and Sheri Mignano. I have used the scores they shared over the years.
Update. I got an immediate reply and was granted access. I am exploring the site and trying to figure out how to use it :)
Thanks again
Thanks Jairo. Great news. I tried to submit for a password, unfortunately I got an error. Could not figure out what was wrong. I sent an email. I hope they reply and grant me access
Good thing I now play classical guitar. I even encourage the cats to play with the nylon strings. I make sure they are not around when I change mandolin strings.
Thanks 😊
What would be the difference?
They both mean slowing down.
The mandolin looks good. I would not do anything to that brass bolt. If the neck is straight and the action is good, the instrument playable and stable, don't touch it.
Unless it is bothering you...

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays :mandosmiley:
No 50 is completely different. You have to check no 49. In classical methods like Munier and Calace, you use a down stroke to move from one string to another. It's also like playing the violin you...
This is the link to the method for those interested

I was going through these picking exercises as I am trying to play some Calace pieces. These start in exercise 49, which is quite interesting and challenging. In exercise 52, syncope and tremolo, my...
Rest In Peace, Ivan.
I am not sure if Matsikas would do a setup. If you intend to buy an old bowl back restored, just have a good look at what was repaired, and other details. And yes they need some care and light...
