With that number, I would put it in the early to mid 1920's.
We do not have any detailed lists of L & H numbers that I know of, so we have no way of narrowing it down to an exact year.
These are...

Hello,

I am looking for a particular instrument that I use to own. It was an Embergher 5bis model by Nuova Liuteria Romana. I sold it here on the Cafe classifieds a long time ago (2012?)....

A year ago, the orchestra I play with in Athens Greece (MandolinARTE) performed its last concert before the pandemic (ahhhh good times).

Anyway, we played a beautiful piece of music from the...

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forum. I’ve been reading and learning so much from this site since I started playing about six years ago, such a wealth of information. I’ve just acquired a...

I would add:

Alison Stephens Music for Mandolin (1991) – CD-SAR53

Vienna Nocturne by the Mair-Davis Duo

I love these recordings, especially the Calace. She delivers the Nakano repertoire with her customary skill, but I'm simply a little less fond of Nakano's solos than Calace's. I also like the sound...

Hi Rob,

The two recordings you mention are, in my opinion, among the very best and most important ever made of classical mandolin. The Calace is the most important, again in my opinion. There...

Edit: Tröster not Koster!! Can someone edit the thread title, please?

This recording of Jiro Nikano's solo mandolin music might not be news to anyone here, but for me it is a revelation. I'd read...

I had never been a fan of Thomastik mandolin strings. I tried them on my Gibson in the 1980s and hated them. However, after some resistance I put a set of mediums on my Washburn Pro A and would never...

Hi TIm,
I sent you a link. I haven’t done the complete tour through these kinds of strings, and each instrument responds uniquely anyway. I have played the Calace, the Lenzner, and the Thommastiks,...

Owen Hartford Retrospective: Music for Mandolins

This is a concert in honor of Owen Hartford, one of the most prolific modern American composers for plucked strings ensemble. Six ensembles – the...

This is from a recent performance by the Hampton Trio in western MA. The piece (very lovely) is "Koyoi Sakura" by Rie Muto, who is well-known and prolific composer for plucked strings in Japan. For...

Here is a video of the Hampton Trio's recent performance at the Hingham (MA) Library "Sunday Sounds" concert series of an arrangement of a "Suite" by Lully, the French baroque composer. The...

Dear mandolinist friends around the world,

as summer slowly turns into autumn, I am delighted to share with you news that is both good and seasonally fruitful: I have just delivered a short...

A set of 6 vocal duets with bass accompaniment, arranged for two mandolins and guitar (or other 'bass' instrument)

The duets are quite straightforward, both technically and harmonically, with a...

I. Bourrée - Allegro moderato 0:00

This is a short and simple...

Agreed on the toothiness of Dogals. ;) They are round-wound, after all. My problem with them-- and I fully take the blame for it-- is that the sonority changes a bit too abruptly going from the D- to...

I think it is important to point out that you are referring to technical materials. If one looks at Leone, Denis, Gervasio or Munier and Calace methods you will find the same exercises that Marlo...

I think it is imoprtant to realise that the methods being talked about are thoroughly modern approaches using modern sensibilities to approach what for most of us is a modern version of an instrument...

For me as a mandolinist and musicologist some of the texts I see above don't just answer a question. Instead they create history and are a sign of mechanisms of canonization. On that topic a lot of...

Although it is true that the majority of German classical mandolinists use Seiffert-style instruments that have "a little wider fretboard", with flatwound strings, and the Wolle pick, these physical...

Bill....My husband Gino Pellegrini is on these recordings playing with Nick Sfarzo and Lawrence Andrini and has always played these numbers and actually did the recordings on reel to reel. I can...

Hi all,

I like to inform you about a special concert this Sunday, June 21st, starting at 13.10 hours, in the Filmzaal of the Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen (NL) given by two Dutch mandolinists,...

Yesterday I was delighted to attend a performance shared by the New American Mandolin Ensemble and the Munier Mandolin Orchestra in the environs of Philadelphia; among the works performed was my...
