@RomaniMusic : Yes, I'm glad you pointed out "Ukranian". Kiev is the capitol of The Ukraine. I've known Ukrainian immigrants and they don't like to be referred to as Russians.

I wondered why he wasn't playing his Gibson F5.

@dbadagna: You're right, it's a Lyon & Healy Mandola! The look just their mandolins just a little bigger. At first I thought maybe they were just "syncing" to a recorded track with Apollon faking it on mandolin. When I looked at the closeups of him from straight on, I could tell that the neck and body are bigger than a mandolin and the low notes are on the C string. So, definitely a mandola. How do you like that. I found this because I'm learning this song on mandolin to play with friends. Nice.

Near the end he goes down to a low D, four notes below the mandolin's lowest note of G. I think he is playing a mandola, not a mandolin.
-
Thanks, how does that explain the notes he hits near the end that are below the mandolin's low G?

@Louisnodell92 That's cool to see someone you know in an old film.

@dbadagna : Dave Apollon is playing a Lyon & Healy mandolin. He later played a Gibson F-5.



Warner Music has just issued a spectacular 6 DVD set (11 hours) of Vitaphone shorts which includes several selections by Apollon. Only $40.
