    A work of art based on a work of art--beautiful. Curious about the tuning, with 10 strings (I assume 5 course doubled).

    Very nice work. May I ask what this is called and from what period in history?

    Beautiful. Could you tell us where this was filmed. Lovely place.

  8. Re: A customer playing a baroque mandolin I built

    The sound has a wonderful ring; curious what kind of strings produce that (along with the fine instrument and player of course). Picture looks like nylon, surprised at the power.

    Very beautiful music. Your instrument is exceptional.

    A great tone from that instrument, Jo. The composition really reflects the mood you create with the superimposed tidal ripples.

    Here's Bill Monroe's "The Chilly Winds of Shannon," which sounds totally natural on tenor banjo, IMHO.

    Thanks for posting.
