Hello good folks.
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using one string from a mandolin string to pair with an om string to have an octave difference to get a different tone like you would with...

I just got the PM from Moloney and I'm just trying to see what the limits are. Kind of playing around

That's understandable. Everyone is different. But me I can't really contain my joy every time I hear the Thile play the tempo di bouree vii movement from the b minor partita. It's just too beautiful.

Hey guys
Is it possible to put mandocello strings on an octave mandolin ? I have an APC 308 cedar top octave.
I'm trying to at some cello music and I would like to be able to play them in the...

Great picking my friend. You should have added more detailed description for those videos. When I was trying to find demos for APC instruments I couldn't find any and your videos are great ones.

Yes more or less what you mean. I've been playing for 2 years now and I'm still looking for a main subcategory to get into as my main thing. So for people like me who are trying to figure out their...

Great recommendations thanks alot

Excellent choices my friend. I really want to get into the Albinoni's adagio in g minor. Beautiful orchestral piece. In my mind it should work beautifully with some duo style for solo mandolin

Good day folks.

I was just wondering what would be your top classical choices that everyone should learn to play on the mandolin.
Mine would be :
-Bach prelude 1st cello suit
-Any piece...

You win my heart. *wink *wink

This is the one I was telling you about. He's a multi instrumentalist. He's pretty good on the violin and guitar. But I don't like his mandolin playing or his music over all
Shadmehr ...

That's true. That's where most people have heard it but can't recognize it when they see a mandolin until you play them something Italian.

This is so cool man I never knew about Onik. I had heard his collabs with Dariush but never knew he played the mandolin. Thanks so much man you've given me whole new perspective on Iranian mandolin....

To be fairly honest the mandolin isn't very popular here in Iran and most people haven't heard of it. They have heard what it sound like on tracks like the Godfather or famous Italian movie scores. ...

Not really right now. I did a trip to Sicily a few years ago but that was before i started to play the mandolin. So I missed out on a chance to play some cool bowlbacks there. Might go again soon...

Actually the in my background (I'm Iranian) every one here is somewhat familiar with the Italian sound of the mandolin. Like no one knows what a mandolin is but when you play them like torna a...

Listen to this mandolin orchestra arrangement of the Godfather Medley.
I get chills everytime

Hey guys
Does anybody else feel like the Italian side and heritage of the mandolin is being forgotten and overshadowed by say bluegrass and Irish music ??
I consider it to be a huge part of the...

I played classical violin as a kid. Then I gave it up altogether with music. Then 10 years later I discovered this magical instrument the mandolin and I've been playing for like 2 years and I still...

I guess I kinda like when it sits like that. That's how special forces strap their rifles. Kind of feels like I'm strapping an assault rifle that shoots music

I have an Eastman md514 oval hole and it makes a pretty sweet deep sound which in very happy with. I think you can find one used for your budget

Hello folks.
Mandolessons holds a live session with Q&A on Saturdays at noon.
I'm not in anyway related or anything to Baron' s website I'm just trying to get the word out to other people since I...

Just got a Apc from Moloney Music is Ireland. Pretty happy with it check out my review of it on the forum

I'll give a third vote for APC. Just got a octave from Moloney and it's a pretty solid budget instrument

The neck might feel a bit too wide I'd you're used to thin neck mandolins. It won't feel as thick as a guitar but not as manageable as a regular mandolin for me . As for the set up I had them set it...
