I have a 5 bis copy made by Francesco Olivieri. It was restored by Kurt Decorte in Belgium. It is a very nice mandolin, but not in par with real Embergher.150238150239

You can try "Christmas Song" by Giuseppe Pettine. It is quite challenging.

Not only the pick guard, the Washburn does not have the knee brace neither. The L&H A circa '20 should have the knee brace. Do you have the picture and serial number of that L&H?

I know that some classical mandolinists from Japan go to China once and a while to teach mandolin there. The students are mainly music school students with strong background in Chinese music. I saw a...

From what I have seen, the table needs restoration. Besides, it is very likely that the neck needs some works also. Furthermore, the tuning machine is not original, it depreciates the value. If you...

I cannot find "Melody" accompanied by Chinese musical instrument, all I can find is liuqin with piano.

I came across this mandolin in ebay, it is the best China made mandolin that I have even seen, I hope that I can have a chance to try it....

I wonder who did the appraisal for him.

I do not know Zigiotti personally, but I like his performance in youtube, and I suppose that others will like it as I do. Besides, lombardy mandolin is not so easy to come by, so I think that others...

You can try Optima green.

I came across two incidents that the lining decoloured and dyed the mandolin.
I attached the image of the case for your reference. It is similiar to the case that you have uploaded. The case...

Even with Nylgut the first string is rather easy to break. If my memory serves me well, it is Richard Walz who taught me to use 0.41mm fishline for the first string. It is very cheap, last long and...

Dave, you can call me K or Wong, as long as I kown that you are talking to me, its OK
My mandolino was built by Daniel Larson, in his site, he mentioned the string length as 34 cm, but my...

A beautiful instrument. Mine is a 6 courses mandolino, so the gauges of the strings may not be the same.
I saw Zigiotti played one in youtube:

Dear Simen
I have a big feather that I found on a lake after a storm, it came from a swan.
I would like to use it on my Nylgut strung mandolino, but I suppose that I have to have it shaped and I do...

I use Nylgut on my lombardy mandolin, I put on from the 1st to the 6th:
40NG, 48NG, 64NG, 82NG, 108D and 136D
Still, the 1st string is rather easy to break
AquilaUSA suggested to use two gauges...

I don't have much to add, only that Takusari is the luthier who inherited Pecoraro's tools and is building Embergher mandolin in Japan for 20 years. When you entered his site, it may be interesting...

Dear Hiin
I have several of his CDs, but I have never seen him play, so I ask hoping that you have it.

Thank you very much for the video of Mr Aoyama. The mandolin sounds lovely. I know that Mr Kizoh Sakakibara prefers mandolin by Mr Kanou Kadama, do you have Mr Sakakibara's video?

I have names and sites of some Japanese luthiers, but I have played none of their instruments:
