    Default Renaissance lute for solo mandola: Bianco Fiore

    I thought I'd branch out and try my hand at some Renaissance music. This is Bianco Fiore, a tune attributed to Cesare Negri. Thanks in advance for listening and any feedback you may like to offer!

    Hey, a very nicely effective arrangement. Kudos! And what's the lovely mandolin you're playing here?

    Thanks so much! It's a Pomeroy mandola, made by Don Paine.

    That 'sits well' on a mandola too. Is there some reverb in the mix? I'd use a bit less to get a more natural sound. (It does sound good however).

    Colin: Very, very nice, indeed! Beautiful instrument and beautiful performance. Having just gotten two mandolas for myself, I'd love to try this piece on them. Have you made your arrangement available anywhere? Thanks.

    Hi Joe, thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I don't have the arrangement written down, as I basically winged it, based loosely on a guitar version I learned once upon a time. Perhaps I could find some time to write it out.
