Ah! Thank you very much!!

Thank you for all the great points! I just signed up for Catarina's online course. Maybe one of these days I can take an in person lesson with her or Chris and get into the fine details of the...
Flamenco is definitely some physically demanding music. Years back in my youth I gave up on my dreams of being a classical guitarist because even then although I could play most of the things I...
Hi guys! I was wondering if anybody by chance had the score for this piece. I like it and would like to put it into my practice routine. I didn't see it on the IMSLP site. Thank you in advance!

I like the idea of playing another instrument too. I also play jazz guitar for a living but it's more less the same kind of wear on my left hand. I could be nice to get into a completely different...
That all makes sense. We have to be open to all possibilities. I'm glad you got the root cause of your problem sorted out!

Thanks for the feedback. I feel like though most people recommend going to lighter strings and low action, at a certain point if there's no springy push back from the string, pushing against the...
Good advice! I'll check out those videos. Thank you for your response!
Hi guys, I was wondering how most of you are setting up your mandolin. I'm playing mando again after some time and hand issues in the left hand are pretty normal for me (I do play guitar for a...
I couldn't agree more David!
Carlo Aonzo performing Giovanni Gioviale with orchestra? Yes please! Idilio Primaverile and Viale Fiorito. (apologies if this has already been posted).

I see. That's possible I suppose. Thank you for your input!
I'm 5 years old in that photo, it just looks big on me :))
Hi gang! I have a photo of me when I was around 5 playing my grandfather's mandolin (early 80s). This would not have been anything very expensive I am sure. I figured I'd take a shot in the dark and...
Happy to find this thread! I also have a Campanella Due, and consequently my great grandmother was also surnamed Campanella, though I have no relation to Joe :D
I have always used J74s on my Due...
I used to have a KM-1000 with a Saga fiberglass case. The mando and tone guard fit just fine.
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't checked this thread in ages. I'm still in Beijing so if you guys are still in town let me know! Shoot me a text! 186 0076 1751
They are still making the bowl back mandolins but almost exclusively for the Japanese market. As far as I know they normally only make a handful of them each month, unless of course demand requires...
By the way of the two bowlbacks I played, one was borderline horrible, the second one was pretty decent and even had scalloped ribs on the back. It really wasn't bad. I though if it had a proper...
I went to that music shop yesterday at Xinjiekou. It was a pretty typical Chinese music shop with some playable instruments, some not so much so and a guy telling you why his shop is the best one,...
Thanks for the tip! I'll let you know what I find here. Hope to report something soon :) I brought my KM-1000 over here and also my Calace bowl back but I'm always looking for good deals!
I just recently moved back to Beijing. Looking to see if there are any other players here but I doubt it of course you never know. I will let you know if I find anybody.
I'm a big fan of this album of music of JS Bach by Dorina Frati and Piera Dadomo: http://www.amazon.com/Bach-J-S-Mandolin-Guitar-Works/dp/B002WR01NK
I saw these on ebay. I want a fiberglass case for my bowl back and was wondering if anybody here had any experience with these? Besides the Eastman cases these are the only other ones I've seen.

It's the Calace workshop :)
