I know there is a video thread up in the mandolin forums, but I'd like to see some CBOM vid's specifically.
Post 'em up!
Here's one from me to get things started.

Very nicely done, Kyle.
Fortunately, you'll all be spared from my end. Little talent. No vidcam.
I'll just spectate.

Wow Ted! That was great, I wish I had the patience to learn something like that!
Good show

Here're a couple jigs on the sobell
here's one of my "simple songs"...

No webcam here either, but here's a compilation CBOM blog (from Germany, I think) with a bunch of videos: http://irish-bouzouki.blogspot.com/
Lebeda F-5 mandolin, redwood top
Weber Yellowstone F-5 octave mandolin
Arthur McBride on a Richard Beard Bouzouki - 24.5" scale, Koa b&s, Spruce top.
I love this thread - I was late to work this morning because I just had to watch Dan's clip a second time! Keep the vids coming lads and lasses!
Cheers,

Wow... I'm really enjoying these clips... ALL of them. I don't have a video camera, but may try to borrow one so I can post a little vid myself. hmmm.....
Great idea, Kyle! Thanks for getting the ball rolling!

If you're gonna walk on thin ice, you might as well dance!
Here's a clip of my Arrow OM when it was just six hours old! Also, recorded using a built-in Mac laptop mic, so there's a fair bit of tone loss due to low mic quality and video compression. The song is the first one I ever heard with an OM/bouzouki, "Lamp Trimmed and Burning" (from Tim O'brien and Darrell Scott's "Real Time"), in an improvved arrangement.
If you want to hear it's real tone, go to my myspace page and click on the track "Bjorkbergspolskan," which was recorded semi-legitimately.
Guys that was all astounding! And humbling too!
Since my waldzither is in pieces at present, I can't post anything at present, but I will try and revive the thread once it's finished and set up.

I love this idea! The world needs more CBOM videos!
I learn tunes by ear - but I'm even more efficient learning them by both ear and sight and these videos are a great way for all of us to learn new tunes.
However, given the number of different tunings that are possible for all of the CBOM instruments, it would be really helpful to know what the respective tunings that each of you are using.
Can we all do that henceforth in this thread?

Seems fair enough, Ian.
I always use ADae.

Don't know how to embed this, so there is just a link to me playing Cooley's. Poor camera, but fair-enough mic.

Oh, and it's all GDAE.

I wish I had a better audio / video recording set up! I recorded this on my webcam.. you can hear a background noise of my computer CPU fan, and there's a place or two that there's crackle...
That said, this is an old-time tune, Rose Tree, played on my Petersen Level 4 Octave Mandolin.

Hey that audio is good enough to be pleased with the sound of the OM (crystal clear and crisp) and the playing - goes directly to the heart.
The video signal is a bit slow, but that's how webcams are - at least the tune was not too fast, so your hands are not a total blur (like they are in my video, made with an even slower cam).
Keep em coming!

Nice Barbara!
OK up to now this has been a great string. I just noticed it this morning and I was torn between two feelings: 1) hesitation to reveal my dubious skills to the entire Cafe and 1) the desire to have a Gibson CBOM represented.
So this morning I bite down on the bullet and made a quick recording of this tune that I often play on the mandolin -- it did not transfer to the mandocello as easily as I thought it might. But here is my 1936 Gibson K-1 mandocello and the Galway Hornpipe.
