    Default Mandolins in Naples

    My friend posted this wonderful video she and her husband made on a recent trip to Naples. She has made quite a few friends with mandolin makers and players in the city.

    I love that giant tambourine. Wonderful video! nice to see that the music is still living in Napoli. Other than Calace -- i assume they visited there -- what other makers did your friends meet?

    And they're singing in the wonderful Napolitano dialect - or should I say, "nabila-don".
