I completely agree with you. As a former violin player, I've always been a strong advocate of the technique, and always thought that a bad technique can lead to injuries and greatly limits what can...

That makes a lot of sense: in the previous exercice there are two measures with the same string changes but notated as glides and not alternate:

I already made the glide on the first...

Hi!

I'm following the Calace method and I got stuck on the exercice no 82 in part 2. The picking direction is indicated on all notes on the first measure, and seems to imply that all the exercise...

I think part of the "legitimate" aspect is due to the relative scarcity of classical mandolinists compared with the folk/bluegrass ones. For example, I live in a relatively big city (Barcelona, 1,6M...

I have the same doubt, and after some testing I like to play them as almost sixteenths, but with a little breathe between the eight note and the following sixteenth.

I am practicing this piece and didn't like any of the free versions I could find, so I made my own using lilypond. It's not perfect, but it's more readable than the imslp editions.

Strings are Dogal RW92B, I want to try...

Thank you very much, that helps me a lot :)

Unfortunately I can't say more at the moment, but hopefully in a few days I will be able to share a lot of photos...

Hi!

A friend of a friend offers me a bowlback from the 1930s, but it has some cracks between the ribs and I don't know if they are superficial or deep. He says that it's solid, but I'm not sure if...

I found it very useful: I always tune by ear, and never thought of not tuning in perfect fifths, so it was very helpful to me. I tried today and felt weird during tuning, but the intonation between...
