    Re: NEW Mandocello Book!

    I agree. My guess though is they’re coming from treble clef instruments or bass clef instruments in fourths. So a bass clef in fifths introductory book makes a lot of sense. Either way. When it...

    Re: Ranieri - Art of the Mandolin

    Yeah. Part 2 (3,4) have been on there a while. It’s tougher to find part 1 (1,2). Hopefully we can get it added to IMSLP.

    Ranieri - Art of the Mandolin

    Good news for those of us in the US. The Art of the Mandolin has officially entered into the public domain. It’s a great book so I’m hoping to see some copies legally spread around now.

    Re: "The Bickford Method for Mando-cello"

    I have wiedt elementary studies and a bellenghi. Both being in treble clef, figured it would be nice to go to bass clef with them also. I need to check the copyright on the wiedt however.

    Re: "The Bickford Method for Mando-cello"

    Thanks Jim. I’ll be happy to post the file in Bass Clef here later. I have one more Mandocello method book. It’s not nearly as nice as this one, but I’m considering transcribing into Dorico for...

    Smart definitely makes some of the best sounding and playing Mandola’s!

    Re: I made a "Smart" purchase this weekend

    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...

    Re: Piccolo (Soprano) Mandolins

    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.

    Re: Tchaikovsky on mandolin

    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.

    Re: Mandocello Specific Techniques

    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.

    Re: Mandocello Specific Techniques

    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.
