  1. Re: Ninetta - Mazurka by C. A. Bracco

    Thank you, Michael. I'm so behind the times. I didn't even know about musicaneo! Yet another online treasure trove.
  2. Re: Ninetta - Mazurka by C. A. Bracco

    Hello, Michael.
    Beautiful music well played on an impressive instrument. I happen to play in a trio with 2 mandolins and guitar. I know I could search, but is the Album pour Mandoline available on...
  3. Re: SILVIO RANIERI - Mandolinist, Conductor and Composer.

    Thank you, Alex, for this. Are his compositions shared anywhere, or are they still under copyright?
  4. Re: J. S. Bach BWV1004 - Ciaccona Transcr. Eduardo Egüez

    One can do both. I find it very satisfying!
  5. Re: Drop Box is now available for Italian 'ballo liscio' sheet mu

    Hi, everyone. I got my copy of Heroes in the mail on Saturday. Wonderful, and informative. I haven't gotten to the "dense" parts yet, but so far it's great. Thanks as always, Sheri!
  6. Re: String opinions for bowlbacks: Dogal, Pyramid, Thomastik, et

    Thanks, everyone, for the opinions and advice. I have gotten a set of Dogal Calaces, and hope to get them installed this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. -Chris.
  7. Re: String opinions for bowlbacks: Dogal, Pyramid, Thomastik, et

    Thank you for the question, David. The answer is that I'm not sure. I'll have to put a micrometer on them, but I know they are light. I'll let you know when I get the time. While waiting, why do...
  8. String opinions for bowlbacks: Dogal, Pyramid, Thomastik, etc.

    Hi, friends. I've got a nice French mandolin, right around 1900 (of course!), fluted ribs, but it sounds quite thin with the inexpensive strings the restorer put on. I have little experience with...

    Re: Tuning for 19th Century Mandolin

    It also looks to me like there's a neck angle problem, and that the treble end of the fretboard is higher than the octave fret. A not uncommon problem with bowlbacks in my limited experience, but it...
  10. Re: Giacomo Sartori - Free scores in the Petrucci Library (IMSLP)

    Thanks, Michael and all. I'll check on what I have, too, though I suspect nothing unique.
  11. Re: Anchient airs and dances suite #2 by Respigii

    I don't have time to dig around now, but you could likely find editions of the original lute tablature at gerbode.net. It's an incredible resource for lute music. Of course, if you don't read lute...

    Nice, Hany! Can you tell me exactly where you found the score for the Tarantella? I'm having trouble finding it.

    Re: Weymann 1911?

    With respect, I'd start with .009 for the E string, and go to .010 if it sounds too thin. It's a beautiful mandolin, and I think Weymann might have used the term "mandolute" for bowlback as well as...

    Looking forward to them!
  15. Re: Why/how did you start playing mandolin?

    Actually, besides the upright piano in the dining room, and violin lessons at school, mandolin was my first instrument. I found it in the attic when I was about 13 (that would be 1965), and asked my...

    Re: Italian music, getting started

    No, not Tokyo, Western Massachusetts, USA. I visited Sapporo in 1993, but haven't been back since. I'd be interested to talk, though, I'll send a message.

    I also play Italian style, but haven't yet chimed in because everyone else said it already, but do let us know how you make out at Ikegaku. I also play traditional Japanese music (shakuhachi,...

    Good idea, Jim, though I don't know how to do it. I just wanted as many people as possible to see it, and my impression is that this thread has a pretty restricted audience. I've also contacted the...
