I don't have any tenors left at the moment, having sold my last. I only play them casually. But I still have my Kala bari. I think it's a very nice alternative. ...

Over the past two months, Finnish multi-instrumentalist Roope Aarnio compiled 50 of the "Sketches" from composer Samuel Rinta-Nikkola´s (1763-1818) "Notebook" -- a remarkable historical collection of...

Happy New Year, Mandolin Cafe! Ignore my Superman PJ pants- I don’t get out much anymore.

Brand new mandolin under the tree this morning! Added my part to my siblings’ take on one of our favorite Christmas tunes! Merry Christmas!

Very nicely done!

Several weeks ago, the Munier Orchestra and American Guild of Organists presented a Vivaldi Mandolin and Organ Festival. While the music was wonderful, we did not promote it, in order to comply with...

Put this together as a diversion from serious life. Hope someone enjoys it as much as we had fun putting it together.

Back in the saddle again, and with some upgrades! Got a new phone, so I'm using that as my video source now (hello 1080p!), using the microphones on the phone to seed the reverb channel, and most...

Glad you 2 got Covid-lite, a friend of mine would say it's pretty bad but she's in a coma on a ventilator for the 2nd time so can't speak right now.

Here's what I have. Two .pdf files. Notation and Notation + Tab. I arpeggiated the last chord to approximate the split chord the way the cellists bow it. Measure 26 has a B natural instead of a Bb,...

I just got the ability to edit video, so I finally was able to complete some old projects! This was filmed and recorded in June last year. Hope you enjoy it!

I attached the sheet music for it too.

I like GC and wish them well. I’ve been going in there since I was 18 and started playing guitar. Lots of good memories, not just for me but for millions like me. I also don’t go in there...

I love this movement. There are a couple special things about it. First, the intervals Bach writes in are truly inspired, beyond what you'd expect from any Baroque music... some really juicy...

Alright folks, I finally got this one in good enough shape to share with you!

As always, head to my website for the TAB/sheet music!

Actually, there are a number of key breakthroughs in latency issues, and folks using JackTrip technology have been able to get audio latency down to virtually imperceptible levels — under one...

Good time to mention we've had copies of the Suites in Treble Clef for years. Here it is as downloadable PDF:

Suite 5 has begun!

It seems like a lot of teenagers bond strongly with music during the years transitioning from childhood to adult, whether they latch onto an artist or an album or a song or a...

Plenty loud for a uke. Really fun to play. The high low courses on the lo end work similar to 12 string guitar. Works well for playing melody because of the volume and tone across all strings. I...

I have one - an Eddy Finn model with a neck that's 1.75" wide - like a guitar.
I have it strung up with certain gauges of silk'n'steel strings and play it as a downtuned mandolin.
It's been...

I almost never play mandolin with a slide...had a student ask me about it, and quickly recorded this little ditty as a demonstration. Doesn't sound as bad as I thought it would:)
...

I've always heard this movement as "The Official Start of the Second Half of Bach's Cello Suites." Obviously, by movement count, it's several movements past the midway point, but to me the character...

Agreed on the Pro Plecs. If you don’t like the Dunlops, hit me up and I’ll buy them from you.
