I put the Almuse pickup in, but probably the stock pickups also have a clear chime bell like tone characteristic of single coils.

The key for me to get the trills is use a 4 string. I have the 8 string Fender, but it's much harder to play trills, and play clean. Electric guitar has been my main instrument, so transitioning to 4...
Thanks very much for listening.
My thinking was to make all the parts clearly heard as separate instrumentation.
It was fun to do, some parts (the solos) took time to learn, other parts like the...
Thanks for the feedback.
Maybe some EQ would help the piercing quality. I think the high register of the mandolin coupled with the strong attack can fatigue the ears pretty quickly.
Next time I...

Let me know what you think of my recording of Vivaldi's opus 3 No 1.

...to an audience of 5 people...
3 - Thin and delicate/detailed top end
1 - 1 and 2 are very similar
2 - Duller tubbier sounding
Listening through iphone headset, so probably missing some detail
Sunlight will yellow lacquer if it's lacquered.
But my opinion is to keep it new looking as possible and distress it by playing it as much as possible.
Love my Mandostrat reissue.
Got the moongazermusic.com 4 saddle bridge.
Great thread, with great answers.
I'm a guitarist who uses Cakewalk Sonar multitracking software. It can print sheet music from midi files and provide tablature as well.
The plus is you can play...
4 in line, exactly like the picture.

Made in China
I just picked up this one;

I like it, it plays nice.
Similar issues though, you'd think they'd blow out all the chips with...
Eastwood's Warren Ellis Baritone tenor with 26" scale uses these guages;
Strings: 0.62, 0.40, 0.26(w), 0.16(p) tuned CGDA, C below normal low E on guitar.
Same tuning as a mandocello.
...
I found an error trying to play through it; measure five, the first b natural note is actually supposed to be a b flat.
That kind of stopped me in my tracks and I didn't check for other errors.
...
Chris Thile's recording of this suite is absolutely impeccable.
I bought a Fender Mandostrat 4. Loved it and promptly bought a Mandostrat 8.
I swapped out the bridges for the 4 way Moongazer bridges, and swapped in the Almuse pickups.
Strobe tuner indicates it...
I'm curious about this instrument too. Does it come tuned to viola/mandola tuning?
Seems like the scale is long and the strings might be tight for this tuning, unless the strings are pretty light.

I come from 40 years of guitar.
I just learned Pachelbel's Canon (may post a multitrack recording).
I ended up using 1 finger per fret, mostly, with lots of pinkie action, and switched to extended...
This is awesome.
Would it be correct to guess that the fingerings are mostly or completely identical to what a violinist would play?
Thanks, I would totally get one of their kits, but it appears they're out of stock, I started a thread asking about them;...
I think maybe a Eastwood tenor might fit the bill for mandola and Eastwood tenor baritone for mandocello.
Not too sold on the Airline shape, and after seeing the Rukavina, not all that hot on...
