    Default The sound of a Girouard mandola

    I wrote this tune right after I got my mandola from Max and Lauri and named the tune for them. Finally got it recorded properly and my friend Gregg Daigle put some video footage to it. Turned out nice.

    Mandola has a bog cedar top and red maple back and sides. A wonderful instrument I should play more.

    Great tune and great sound from that mandola. I liked both so much that I just went to your website and downloaded the album.

    Don, Great tune - Great sounding mandola! Seems like every time someone demos a Girouard instrument I can feel MAS struggling to break free. The sound on this album is great all the way through, as is the playing, writing and song selection. I love a guitar & mandolin duo and you guys made it sound like it was meant to be. I'm also glad you made it available on CD for us dinosaurs (or should I say old goats!).

    I also agree that the video as very cool - looks like a lot of drone footage; did you shoot it yourself?
