Re: Questions for Jazz Mandolin Players
Nothing wrong with learning a new style of music on the very nice instrument you already own.
It's all the same notes after all ..
I have an alternate instrument, also, .. a 4 string , tuned lower to the Viola- Mandola set of pitches CGDA.
{on the short mandolin scale an .050" for me works to tune to C}
which I really like the voice of .. have a Magnetic pickup on it .. one .. a modified 8 string A ..
playing things in what would be key of F on the mandolin ,
are Bb on the mandola , which is handy ..
writing about music
is like dancing,
