A competent recording of Calace's op.150 to (1) exist and (2) appear in my personal library.
. . . and for Chad to finally finish building that Neapolitan mandolin I commissioned too long ago.
Feel free to follow suit.

For Cremonese/Brescian mandolins (or any nylon-strung mandos) to come back into fashion since I'm loving the sound and feel of the one I'm building, and my domra which is strung the same.
Or if it has to be a physical thing, I'd quite like an 1890's one myself to play and take measurements from.
I am a luthier specialising in historical and world stringed instruments. You can see more info at my website.
For Xmas, I'd like a copy of Homer & Jethro's "Playing It Straight." I know it's not classical but it kinda is for me. For Festivus, I wouldn't mind learning to play on Mandolin "Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prélude" by Johnny Seb.
P.S. Here's an Xmas orneryment made by the OP sometime during the last century.
Play that which you feel is groovy, get down with your bad self, and shake your money maker if it makes sense for you to do so.
