Maple Leaf Rag on Brentrup Stealth Mandolin

I have been working on this one for awhile now and this is about as good as it gets. The arrangement is from Steve Kaufman's book "Flatpicking the Rags and Polkas" for guitar. This is one of those tunes I will be polishing for the rest of my days! Dedicated to the amazing mandolin builder Hans Brentrup! Thanks for building me such a wonderful mandolin!

Very well done. I'm working it out in C on the tenor banjo. Hope I can do it half as well.

@olmmbill Great, can't wait to hear it! I tried in on Tenor Banjo, but the stretches are to wide for the arrangement.

Fantastic! Your playing is solid, and the Stealth sounds so great. Clean and crisp where you want it, and super barky!! Woof! Nice job!
