    Re: J.S. Bach: Gavotte in D Minor (BWV 811)

    It's BWV 811. I found a Youtube clip of a 5 year old Chinese girl, playing it at high speed.
    But I like the...

    You mention only Avi Avital as a well known performer, so I don't know what other classical mandolin players you already know.

    Re: Hector the Hero

    I also love this tune.
    There are versions in 6/8 and in 3/4.
    I had played it as a slow waltz in A.
    If I remember right, I had tried to do the tremolo in groups of six:

    Re: Strings gauges for 21" scale tenor guitar

    Thanks for the string gauge recommandations! Today I tried to replace my thin sounding 010 a-string with an 011-inch one to fatten up the sound a little bit. It broke when I tried to tune it higher...

    Re: High Quality Short Scale Tenor Guitar?

    Thanks again for your thoughts. Well, first of all, I've got to decide whether a tenor guitar is so important to me, that I will spend the money for a handbuilt tenor guitar. Until now, tenor guitar...

    Re: High Quality Short Scale Tenor Guitar?

    I was thinking about having a tenor guitar built by Fletcher, Foster or Girouard. All their videos show tenor guitars tuned in GDAE.

    Re: High Quality Short Scale Tenor Guitar?

    That goes without a question, but I have some doubts whether the above mentioned tenors are built to handle CGDA tuning or whether they unfold their full potential only tuned GDAE.

    Re: High Quality Short Scale Tenor Guitar?

    As decent as my Kala sounds played with a thick pick on the lower three strings, I'm simply not able to coax such a kind of tone from the high A-string.
    That's why I think of an upgrade sometime in...

    I'm no expert, but I've noticed, that the MR-Suzukis have a solid headstock with a Martin-like logo, whereas the M-Suzukis have a slotted headstock.

    High Quality Short Scale Tenor Guitar?

    I have two tenor guitars: a Blueridge BR 40-T and a Kala tenor guitar.
