I came across a couple of mandocello method books at the library. I haven't had a chance to look through these yet but as the Bickford method seems the most discussed and sought after, I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with these? -- Joe

The Weidt is known (although I have not personally seen a copy). The Bellenghi is new to me (what is the publication date?).

Looks like a 1896 copyright date on that one. Which library? Did you get pictures of all the pages by any chance?

These are at the Library of Congress. Because these are way out of copyright, I guess my goal is to create a pdf of each and somehow share. I have to figure out how to share a sizable pdf. In any case, this has to wait until after CMSA.
That sounds good Joe. If you want to take the pictures or do the scans, I’ll be happy to convert them into a pdf. I can give you access to one of my shared drives so you can upload them there. Also, you can open a free Dropbox account and share a folder on there. Anything I can do to help, please let me know!
Have fun at CMSA. I wish I could have been there this year.
