Great playing, lovely tune. What's the name of this tune you're playing?

[sherlock1310]

It's a tune named Vianne's Lullaby. I made this tune "on air" for my beautiful daughter Vianne when she was trying to catch the sleep. The "ghost" of this tune is "Down by the Sally Gardens" and I modified the rythmic but the notes are pretty like the same

so beautiful

[Myles McCormack]

hey man is your mandola made to specification or is it one of the pre-specified Accord models? Because I;m undecided as to whether to get one made to specification or not cos the Accord one looks lovely as well. peace

You can get them made or sometimes off the shelf in several places. In the UK, there are quite a number of makers. Google Thomas Buchanan mandolin, Fylde Instruments, Sobell Instruments or Freshwater Folk Instruments. The one shown is a Freshwater. They cost about £500 to make but DON'T believe Dave's estimated delivery dates. The other brands are more expensive. There are some East European and Far East ones available. I picked up a bargain UK one on Ebay.

[Richard Ridley]

Very nice playing, the Freshwater sounds great.

My lovely Freshwater Mandocello/Bouzouki is on sale on ebay right now.

Not bad mate! You definitely have potential.

ps. have you seen Olivier Uldry's tune on the octave mandolin? It's incredible.
