    Hi all,
    thought I'd stick this here for your entertainment (or otherwise!). I wrote this as a light semi classical piece and got the opportunity to put the chord charts in front of a little french music group I had a couple of gigs with. A video was made athough I'm on the dark side (Luke) but you get the general idea! Not played on a roundback I'm afraid but my trusty old F2,
    Lurv,
    Marc

    Really nice and 'easy listening' music and what a nice ensemble!
    Thanks for the Mandolin café - Youtube link, Marc.

    Best from Holland, Alex.

    Here's my latest one:

    No "camera video" here, but my new Zoom H2 recorder I recently stole for $50 really is a whole lot better than my digital camera is for audio. I really love being able to finally have stereo, especially for this music! (And Audacity is great fun to play with, too!) ;-)

    Thank you, Tom and Alex!

    Alex - of course with no camera, you could not see, but I was playing with a Roman style plectrum. Now, I am not sure if my technique is quite kosher, but for me it is easier to articulate than using the typical American pick shapes, and I am hooked. ;-)

    On the Sunday between CMSA Convo and the flight out to Miami, I did a little recital in NYC where I finally got a chance to perform with my dear friend Hai-ting Chinn (we've been trying for years). Here's us doing the Mozart songs:

    Joe, thanks so much for sharing these videos. The performances seem so natural and relaxed. The singer sounds great and both your playing and your mandolin sound wonderful.

    Here's the Bach Sarabande from the 6th Cello Suite, which I play on a 17" Flatiron 1N mandola tuned GDAE. The Thomastik 174 strings work pretty well for this, I think.

    Nice adaptation to the different tuning. The Flatiron with Thomastiks gets what I think of as a lute sound.

    Thanks..

    Thanks, Tom!

    The G strings are a tad bit floppy and require somewhat cautious navigation, but all in all, I like it, and have kept it tuned that way since I first tried it. I've got enough CGDA-tuned mandolas, anyway!

    You know what I've been doing lately? I took out my hardly ever played backup viola, and changed the strings to tune it this way, too! I had been intrigued a while back by reading about people who set up so-called "Baritone" or "Octave violins", but was always skeptical about how that would sound un-amplified on such a small bodied instrument. But one day after playing this mandola, I thought I should try the octave violin tuning on a viola. I'm having a blast with it, though it requires quite a different bowing approach. Maybe some day, I'll get up the nerve to record something...

    This is my new Cremonese Mandolin from Uli Albert in Germany (Albert-Mueller). I'm using a raw-hide pick, and Aguila Nylgut ukelele strings made for CGDA tuning, but I tune them at GDAE (415 Mhz). Does that make sense? This is a Renaissance tune with variations called La Volta.

    Not so much classical as renaissance with some modern touches: I've just come across this nice version of a favourite hymn of mine, "Remember O Thou Man" by Thomas Ravenscroft from 1611, arranged for two voices, guitar, mandolin and plucked double bass.

    That is lovely, Gary, and I do like the tone. Did you make that rawhide pick? I don't know whether those would survive much around our house with two dogs.

    Hi Jim. Ha, funny about your dog. I found the pick at Elderly (http://elderly.com/accessories/items/RPK-H.htm), believe it or not. I sometimes use a feather, too, but trills and the like are pretty difficult. I have read that among cherry wood, feathers, and other plectrums in those days, some used leather. So, I thought this a pretty cool, somewhat historically accurate material. What I like is like the feather, it changes with time and use.

    I will have to buy one or two on my next Elderly order... and keep them away from the dogs.

    Here's a stab at Polcha Variata on my 1886 Angora e D'Isanto ( restored by Tavy - thanks John!). Not the easiest instrument for this fretboard is very wide and (original) frets are very shallow... Well that's my excuse anyway!


    Cheers,
    Marc

    Buzz, thanks for sharing this beautiful performance and the earlier Courante also. I love both your performance and the sound of your mandolin in these pieces.

    Hi all,

    Here is a flawless and excellent interpretation of the 'Gran Preludio' Op.175 by Raffaele Calace.

    A work that, because of its high technical demands and its grotesque character, is rarely heard. It is performed here by the Dutch mandolinist Sebastiaan de Grebber.

    Enjoy!
