Rate this Entry
Returning to Mandolin Mondays this week, we have mandolinist Ethan Setiawan playing a stunning crosspicking original tune from his forthcoming album. The composition is called "Uncrossed" and Ethan is playing his Monteleone Grand Artist here.



Originally from Goshen, Indiana, Ethan Setiawan has a command of the instrument far beyond his twenty-five years. He's a Berklee School of Music Alum, and has won both the National Mandolin Championship at Winfield, KS and the Rockygrass Mandolin Championship. Setiawan is an in-demand side man and band member, and can be seen playing with his band Corner House, Darol Anger, and Tony Trischka among others.

Now, Ethan is getting ready to release a brand new mandolin album entitled Gambit featuring Darol Anger, Tony Trischka, Mike Marshall, Joe K. Walsh and more. The record launches on March 31st, 2023, and you can preorder physical/digital copies of the CD as well as his companion transcription book through his website here: https://www.ethansetiawan.com/store

Here's a word from Ethan about the mandolin in this video, "This is a Monteleone Grand Artist, circa 2000. I got it from the Music Emporium in Lexington MA about 2 years ago. I’ve been really lucky to have it and it’s been a great fit for me and my playing style. On the record version of this tune, I’m playing a Gibson Sam Bush model that has since left my possession."

Happy Picking!

    That Grand Artist tone is to die for, having Ethan generate it help too!

    Superb - I've seen a number of pics of Monteleones over the years, but not much audio. I get it now. Thanks for this added dimension.
