This is beautiful...

[stratnut]

Wonderful fluid playing. I wish I was a tenth as good! May I ask what make and gauge of strings you use? Many thanks

[MandoIsland]

@stratnut I think on this mandolin I am using Thomastik (flatwound) medium

[Reggae1942]

Where can the sheet music be purchased?

[obscuramusic]

Brilliant playing and a wonderful piece of music, it makes me want to learn the mandolin now (after playing guitar for over 40 years)

Thankyou for posting this..

I listen to your video each day.

[MandoIsland]

@Benj888 Thanks - I am planning to play another tune by Bernardo de Pace this year! First need to learn it well!

What make is your mandolin?

[MandoIsland]

@hhold This mandolin was made by Werner Deschler who mainly builds those mandolins for players in the south-west region of Germany and Switzerland. You can find an album with some nice pictures of this mandolin on my homepage mandoisland.de - instruments

[MandoIsland]

@hhold This mandolin has been built by a German luthier Werner Deschler who is mainly building instruments in the region where I live, mostly for mandolin orchestra players.

Hello! Great solo! Great sound!

I googled Bernado after watching his video on the Jazz Singer DVD and ran across your YouTube. How wonderful it is to be able to see some of the old time and all but forgotten talents of yesteryear. What a player he was! Kudos to your continuing his legacy.

[willham1970]

holy cow that is so beautiful ,

i love the mandolin.

[southcoastsounds]

A lovely recording - the touch of reverb works really well. It is a very pretty tune and you really bring it to life - it sounds quite difficult too!

[amccann7]

That mandolin has a gorgeous sound!! Of course, it takes the right person to make it song like you do, Michael!!!

[nedsparks]

This is charming. Thank you for uploading this. I have linked your clip with a clip of the composer Bernardo De Pace.

Thanks

[Abudefduf22]

well played...

[vintagestringworks]

very nice!

[Mandolin1944]

Certainly a fine, fine video not only the playing and the music which is outstanding but working in the images of the flowers is just amazing -- put together so artistically as well. This is right at the very top for home videos. The mandolin has a wonderful tone -- the carved headstock is elogant -- I assume it is a bowl-back? Lovely.

[Boondockflyfish]

absolutely fantastic!
