    Re: Masataka HORI - Mandolin Channel

    YES!
    Masataka Hori was our mandocello section leader at CMSA Kansas City and presented an intensive MC workshop. Communicating with us through a translator, he was inspiring, amusing, and most...

    Re: post a video of yourself

    I need to share this with our local Oregon group; we played a piece I wrote in 7/8 ("Agitation") and some of the players thought I was crazy. Sounds nice and smooth here; American music is so fixed...

    Re: Damman Mandocello

    They have been around for a while, one of the few 10 string mandocellos or "liuto moderno"//"liuto cantabile." A friend in the CMSA has one, they're quite good. It was gone by the time I looked,...
  4. 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.

    Re: Telemann Wedding Divertissement

    I looked at your dropbox scores but did not see a bass continuo part; I assume you mean the guitar in treble clef. I looked around on IMSLP and found some nice Telemann duets (treble and bass clefs)...

    Re: post a video of yourself

    The oud has a huge sound, possibly the acoustics of the place helped but still an impressive instrument. The relatively contemplative nature of the music (no drums or driving dance rhythms, no...
  7. Re: Complete recordings of Calace's works for liuto cantabile?

    I don't know if this is an excuse, but at least I'm working on it, and I have many downloads from the Spartini site. Having started late in life, I am a perpetual beginner, but Fabio has me working...

    Re: Telemann Wedding Divertissement

    Very nice baroque style and a beautiful singing tone on that mandolin. I have a set of Telemann duets which I play (mandocello) with a friend, I will look into these wedding pieces, I think they...
  9. Re: Jam Etiquette / Rules Question - Should songs be banned

    I like the song, and a young fiddle player I sometimes open mic with always wants to finish with it. I usually apologize to any hard core blue-grassers in the audience.
    But I understand the...

    Re: Question About Carry-On Instruments

    Then my mandocello would have landed in the yard of a Portland science teacher, along with the door. Maybe it would have been in better shape.
    By the way, my mandocello would not fit neatly under...

    Re: Question About Carry-On Instruments

    This problem is compounded when the instrument is a mandocello. I never take my 1912 Gibson K4 on a plane, instead purchased a Thomann which served me well for several years of travel. Sometimes...

    Re: Mando (and why to quit callin it that...)g

    Back to the discussion of "mando" .... I play mandocello: I dare anyone to come up with a hipster-shortened nickname for that. And it better not be a 'dola player. Or 'zouk.

    By the way (not BTW) I...

    Re: Balcarres lute manuscript

    Nice delicate touch and flowing lines, beautifully played. I struggle getting that light legato with the relatively hard pick against doubled metal strings across fret wires, especially on my beefy...
  14. Re: Opinions on the Thomann (or other cheap) mandocellos?

    I forget where I heard or read this, but I believe the Thomanns are made in Portugal.
  15. Re: Opinions on the Thomann (or other cheap) mandocellos?

    [QUOTE=blaise.douros;1926562]First, I'm so sorry to hear about the mishap--I hate to hear it. Can it be patched up for less than replacement cost? I appreciate your thoughts and have read some of...
  16. Re: Opinions on the Thomann (or other cheap) mandocellos?

    I used a Thomann as my "travel' mandocello because I would not take my 1912 K4 on an airplane. The people at the CMSA conventions, many of whom have very fine instruments, were impressed with the...
  17. Luke William Wright on Mandocello Monday

    I posted this in the Mandolin Mondays thread, but it really belongs here.
    Check out Luke Williams Wright and his wonderful compositions for the mandocello.

    Re: Mandolin Concerts of Note

    I would post our Oregon Mandolin Orchestra concert (tonight, Dec 8) but as usually happens at the Hillsboro Walters Arts Center, it was sold out as of a few days ago.

    That's a beautiful setting Tim; your original? is there sheet music for it?

    Re: Robin Williamson mandolin

    I don't know anyone who has done more for the organization. Well deserved, Bob.
  24. Re: Any others here that started their mandolin/instrument later

    I stated playing mandocello at 70. I am a retired music professor but was never a string player--I taught choir, theory, research and such. I played a little two-finger bluegrass for fun until I...

    Re: Continuous tremolo technique

    Two thoughts, but well outside my areas of expertise (as if I had any): the "all fingers tremolo" looks similar to flamenco guitar technique, but I know there are people on this site that would know...
