This morning I was practicing a gigue by Bach, the suddenly there were those two chords - and I just had to play some flamenco on my octave mandola.

This octave mandola by Ozark has a very low action, so the sound is very good for flamenco.

Heute morgen übete ich an einer Gigue von Bach und machte gerade eine Pause, plötzlich waren da diese zwei Akkorde und ich musste ein bisschen Flamenco spielen.

Diese Mandola von Ozark hat eine sehr niedrige Saitenlage und "scheppert" deshalb etwas, was sehr gut für diese Art von Flamencomusik passt.

  • Makes me want to dance around the room with my teeth clamped on a rose! Very good, but is that a mandola? TR

  • The instrument would be called an octave mandola in the US, in Germany we call it a "flat" mandola. It is tune one octave lower tan a mandolin. I have used a bowlback mandola for the Bach gigue here

  • A little stiff for flamenco

  • What size and pitch is that instrument? I have one bass to treble tuned CGDA and size 72x 31x 7 cm, which I have understood that it is mandola, but there is much confusion with these instruments. Thanks and regards

  • Your clip is very stirring, and I have obtained a mandola. Please tell me -what are those two chords that you refer to?

  • :58 sounds like a riff from a Megadeth song.

  • heyho ;)
