  1. Re: Looking for: Pietrapertosa, Sérénade Napolitaine, 1894

    Thanks a lot! in fact, the SBN website was the first one I've checked... It means I'll have to stop by Santa Cecilia next time I'm in Rome :)

    The pieces recorded by Martin are also sooo nice!

    Re: How to match the colour of a repair?

    I'd also recommend the Liuteria Anema e Corde in Naples, I had a Vinaccia and a Salsedo gorgeously (and philologically) restored by them in Naples and shipped to me back to Germany in a super sturdy...

    Re: my new old mandolin ...

    Reviving a very old thread, it seems that Apus was the brand used to sell in Germany the mandolins built by the Neapolitan luthier Giovanni Kasermann. Apus mandolins also rarely have Kasermann's...

  6. Re: Need help identifying a pre war possibly german mandolin

    the wooden brace is supposed to be somewhere under the bridge, otherwise the top may sink! :)
  7. Re: Need help identifying a pre war possibly german mandolin

    Hi Alvaf, the mandolin is certainly German, most probably it was made in Markneukirchen, Saxony. However, it's impossible to identify the maker, but I'd suggest you have a look at Meinel & Herold...

  11. Re: Are there any Luigi Embergher fakes? How to ID?

    Ok, thanks, I had no idea it's nicknamed like this... Big crack, but not uncommon, Emberghers are so lightly built that they tend to crack a lot, as far as I know ;)
  12. Re: Are there any Luigi Embergher fakes? How to ID?

    I agree, plus with such a crack on the table... Btw what did you mean by "Florida"?
  13. Re: Are there any Luigi Embergher fakes? How to ID?

    Hi Poul,

    I happen to have the same Embergher Tipo A - Studio, but dating back to 1912, when the address of the workshop was Via delle Carrozze 19, and the label was different from the one you...

    Re: Raffaele Calace ID

    Hi unholysmoke,

    the label has something very unusual: "Pizzofalcone" is here misspelled in "Pizzoia lcone", "Egiziaca" seems to me to be written like "Esiziaca", plus Calaces often bore a...

    Re: Best way to fix this bowed neck?

    Hi mregger, it looks like a German mandolin of the 1910-1920, but does the headstock belong to the same piece of wood of the neck or is it glued to it? Because Neapolitan and Sicilian makers, unlike...
