Thank you, Michael. I'm so behind the times. I didn't even know about musicaneo! Yet another online treasure trove.
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...
Thank you, Alex, for this. Are his compositions shared anywhere, or are they still under copyright?
One can do both. I find it very satisfying!
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!
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.
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...
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...
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...
Thanks, Michael and all. I'll check on what I have, too, though I suspect nothing unique.
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.
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!
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...
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,...
What would you say about this one? ...
Then this one? ...
Sheri, as always, as ALWAYS, thanks for this and all your work of love keeping this music available and alive. I'm giving a lecture-concert for the Italian Dept. of the University of Massachusetts,...
Hi, Martin. If you let me know the mistakes, I'll fix them!
Somewhat amazingly, there is also a Merrill currently listed:
...
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...
