    Default Brian Dean #26 piccolo mandolin played by Mike Marshall

    Hi folks,

    It has been years since I was active here, but I still play my mandolins.

    Guess who I ran into at a nearby luthier's shop in Oakland/Emeryville, CA?

    I couldn't resist asking him to allow me to shoot a short clip of him playing my mandolin !

    Cheers.

    I think his index finger is wider than the 1st fret.

    That must have been a shock after all the 'cello playing he's been doing!

    Bach Noodling!! I find it harder to play the shorter scale instruments than a mandola. My fingers want to go to the wrong fret. Mike does quite fine, of course.

    Cool stuff. I find piccolos brutal. I would have kept my Leland but I just couldn't cope.

    I tend to agree as much as I love this instrument. One thing that is remarkable is how loud it is!
