1896 Vinaccia that apparently is the one restored by John Maddock in 2022, UK buyers only.
Calace - seller in Italy
Good new demo of the one that's currently for sale.

Quite a few free tunes and lessons on the site.
Looks like a great resource.
Delightful playing.
I notice there seems to be quite bit of reverb on the recording - and it works well IMO.
I tend to not add reverb when recording my own (modest) solo efforts, but will...
Encountering Sacha Distel originally as a middle of the road crooner, I was surprised when I learnt that he had been a decent jazz guitarist and had composed two classic songs: The Good Life and Ma...
While we do have 12 or so natural harmonics available on the mandolin, I haven't heard them employed as freely as violinists use them in swing jazz.
Grappelli in particular (e.g. 1.00 to 1.04...
I've followed two of Aaron's courses on Pegheadnation - they really deliver!
Gulp!
This is one of the weirdest I've seen.
I'm thinking I should really stop checking out these auctions altogether ... but they do exert a certain fascination.
Does indeed sound nice.
Thanks so much for posting this Brad.
Brings back a memory of the night in 1988 when I saw a young and relatively unknown girl with a big dreadnought guitar come onto the stage alone in a huge...
Inspiring.
Two that I have used for similar occasions that have simple chords and are possibly familiar to most of your group:
Tomorrow is a long time (Nickel Creek, Dylan)
Never ending love...
Me too back in 1962.
Thanks Mike for posting your really neat version.
Prompted me to check out the Cascades online and found 2 versions: one from 1962 and another from what appears to be a...

I'm wondering about the decorative material on my 1930s Gerome
Seems like it could be some type of plastic imitation tortoise-shell.
The Gerome mandolins often featured this as did...
Nice work Jairo - hadn't come across this waltz before.
It lends itself well to the mandolin.
I see there was a 1952 film about the life of the composer:

I acquired this via French site Leboncoin - some interesting instruments can appear there but you usually need a French phone number and mailing address.
It needed some attention: raising the...
Impressive!
When I was growing up in Cork in the 1960s I only came across low-end imported mandolins.
And I believe they only began to make a mark when Sweeney's Men and Planxty started to feature them in the...
Django in Montmartre in May looks promising.
3 days aimed at guitarists and violinists but should be of interest for mandolin also.

Great!
Springsteen's version in E also sounds like its going from E to Esus4 rather than A.
Adding to my post above: what I thought was Bb/C for the first "Bb" makes more sense as Fsus4 which does make sense in this context I guess.
