Not an anomaly. Read through this thread.
Congrats! Given the non-existence of other L&H basses, you are the only person on the planet who can boast such a quartet! I know this has taken real effort on your part. I admire your...
Mine came to me in a case:

It is a poorly made case that serves to keep the dust off, but that's about it. As you can see, it seems to be in the right shape, but I've had to add some...
Can't access Facebook. But via YouTube, for most of the afternoon I've been listening to his performances on a variety of instruments (makes me want to go out and buy a tiple). A wonderful musician.
Thanks, Eugene. I'll ask Neil. The recording you mention is apparently impossible to find, but I copied the back cover from an expired Ebay listing, so I have the contents. Thanks, again.
Deleted message. Sorry.
Very good. This opens a new and doable approach to move forward with my discography: search YouTube (etc.) only for one example of each Calace opus number. Also, I should do my best to add all...
Thanks, Eugene. I've added this as well as a YouTube video of Op. 94 to my Calace Discography. Neither of these opus numbers were represented. I started the discography back in 2020 and got bogged...
Almost worth selling my house for ... but ... well, if the truth be told, I'm practically bald:

Just for the sake of adding tenor lute pictures, here is my Vega:

Here's video of a nicer model than the one above:

Having been far too deeply into Bach over the last weeks, I have to thank you for the lesson in counterpoint. Just downloaded the Bandcamp album and look forward a little warmth on a February...
Just to add a final note to the survey I posted above:
A response from my query to Dogal:
Dear Mr Barti,
our strings for Mandoloncello are developed on Italian mandoloncello round back with...
I really appreciate the wealth of advice and detail of information everyone has provided. Now I understand the physics involved, and that helps. It seems that a packaged set of strings fitting my...
Thanks, mandocello8, for the kind of detail I seem to need, and especially for the tensiontool link. Cool! It does seem odd, though, that the Thomastiks should register as the heaviest. I have a...
Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. With the hope that I am not wearing out everyone's patience, I respond as follows:
It seems best (thanks rcc56) to avoid EJ78s. What the cello came with, I...
I'm having difficulty coming up with the best strings for my L&H mandocello. I've looked at the Thomastiks liuto strings that specify a 61 cm scale length ... too short. The D'Addario J78s specify...
Is it a trick of the light, my old eyes, or what?: it seems the palm side of the neck (what little can be seen) has a concave tunnel down the center.
You might have a look at Jake Wildwood's page about a 1910s Bacon banjo mandolin. The sound of the instrument in the video is quite beautiful. I tried to buy this but someone else got there first.
"Fecerunt" is also Latin: "They made it" ...
If you look at this thread dealing with Calace labels, there is a label like your own in posting #13. The pick guard in your posting is lovely!
Happy Birthday, Dan. I'm still enjoying that 3-point F4 and still looking for Annabelle Kilgore ... Best for the New Year!
Thanks! Looking forward to trying this out! I've taken the liberty of assuming Harmon Gladding's desire to share this would not preclude my sharing an easier format as Jairo Ramos requests.
As an...
As often expressed above, this was a great interview. Two people who know the music business, know music, and know where in this world they live having a serious conversation. Despite the occasional...
Mick, thanks for suggesting these. They are quite a bit heavier than the set in my posting above. I am s'nervous when it comes to stringing vintage mandos, especially bowlbacks, that I would...
I was proud of myself for having resisted the Maccafferi boatback discussed in another forum: My New Year's resolution was holding firm! Now? I intend to start a new thread: "Banjo Mandolins of...
