I was playing around tonight with bass, banjo and my Gibson (A-00 1933)
This is an old Swedish tune in my own arrangement

Interesting tune and arrangement. Beautifully played and recorded.

Re: Old Swedish folk song on my Gibson mandolin
That was great! While I'm half-Swedish, I'm pretty clueless on the folk music. In my youth, we'd play the Swedish Christmas album and enjoy those particular tunes. Not much else.
A couple of years ago, my duet buddy and I worked up Horgalaten. So, there's that!
I take it the photo is the mandolin you playing? I also love my paddlehead A3. Yours sounds great too!
High regards!

Very nice, Pim. I am more familiar with Swedish fiddle music (polska, gånglåt, wedding tunes, etc.). Does this song have words?
My absolute favorite is Spelmansglädje as played by Eric Sahlström on nyckelharpa:

Re: Old Swedish folk song on my Gibson mandolin
Yes it has words. (sorry couldn't find a translation)
But I found this recording our Monica Z did with some New York musiscians in the 60's.
Very enjoyable singing, even if you don't understand the language :-)
Re: Old Swedish folk song on my Gibson mandolin
Yes, that's my mandolin in the picture.
I have never heard such tone in a mandolin I've tried before.
Love it!
