Re: Playing Mandola - Tips & Tricks
If there is a mandolin orchestra near you, you might have access to a great quantity of written music for mandola -- early Gibson promoted the CGDA mandola (then called "tenor mandola") through its orchestras, and there was an absolute mountain of mandolin orchestra music written, including tenor mandola parts. Here's a photo of the Dayton Mandolin Orchestra, 1909:
The music was rarely in alto clef, though; usually it was in transposing treble clef, meaning the low C string was notated as middle C.
