Is it a Brescian mandolin?

Your "as received" photo gives me hope that this old Brambilla might be salvageable should my ship ever come in. This was dropped from a shelf in my grandfather's closet by his butterfingered heirs....

Perhaps there is no need for a new thread. Seek and ye shall find: Right Hand Technique on mandolino. So, unless there has been some revolutionary discovery or insight on this topic post this 2007...

I found a downloadable online copy of the Rosati method at the Bayerische StaatsBibliothek. Are there other sources for this online?

Could someone move this to the "Bowlbacks of Note" thread?

I am an amateur listener enjoying your music. This was terrific.

Having been far too deeply into Bach over the last weeks, I have to thank you for the lesson in counterpoint. Just downloaded the Bandcamp album and look forward a little warmth on a February...

Just to add a final note to the survey I posted above:

A response from my query to Dogal:

Dear Mr Barti,
our strings for Mandoloncello are developed on Italian mandoloncello round back with...

"Fecerunt" is also Latin: "They made it" ...

If you look at this thread dealing with Calace labels, there is a label like your own in posting #13. The pick guard in your posting is lovely!

I was proud of myself for having resisted the Maccafferi boatback discussed in another forum: My New Year's resolution was holding firm! Now? I intend to start a new thread: "Banjo Mandolins of...
