I worked out the beginning of Czardas by ear. Then I used musical notation for the next part. However, I prefer to work from tab on something like this. Does anybody know of a good tab for Czardas in tab in F? Thanx!

I assume that you found the sheet music somewhere. It is also spelled Csardas or Csárdás and I assume you mean the piece by Vittorio Monti? I believe that the title is a generic style of music or dance but the Monti piece is the most famous esp for violin or mandolin. You can find a few versions in notation here. I checked mandozine.com but I don't see any TEF files there and that would be the best source for that, I would think.

Jim-
Thanx, and yes, that's the piece I'm referring to in my post; Monti's Czardas.
What I do is type in a piece of music such as czardas and click on images. The sheet music usually pops up. It confirmed that what I figured out by ear was correct, but I want the whole thing. I'll just have to spring for the entire piece in sheet music. I read music well, just prefer the tab.
Yeah, looked at Mandozine and nothing's there.
wow, i just learned this piece on violin with sheet music. i tried to play it on mandolin, but i don't much like how it sounds though, it doesn't flow as much or sound as... erm... loose? warm? i don't know the word. but that's just me. i don't really know where you can find it, because mine is a photocopy made by somebody else. good luck!

I learned by listening to Howard Frye's version that opens his Gypsy Mandolin!
However I prefer the YouTube version by Y-Hui Chen with only classical guitar backing. Watch her and you know the potential of this piece on the mandolin!
Have you seen this page? Looks like many links to different arrangements.

Thanx!!! Jim suggested this too and I just downloaded it!!!
I see there's a bunch of mandolin versions of it on You Tube. Heres one I especially like.
OK ... that guy gets the Blue Ribbon in the category of Not Looking at the Neck While You're Playing the Mandolin ...
The funniest part of that Tom Cohen video is when the audience starts clapping because they think the piece is over. The musicians looks amused then launch into the superfast part.

Were any tabs found? I sure would like a copy. Beautiful piece.
I have the world in a jug, and the stopper in my hand.
Still no tabs available to my knowledge... probably have to bite the bullet and work through the notation, or pay someone to convert it for you.
Here's one of my favorite versions.... the late, great Dave Peters (@48:44 if the time stamp doesn't work).
Carlo Aonzo included this piece in his book on music from a region in Switzerland beginning with T that has been influenced by the Italian mandolin tradition. Can't remember the name of the region. Anyway, that version has tab as well as standard notation.
Probably Ticino.
