  • The instrument looks more like a baby Oud but has a beautiful sound/tone!!

  • @omoshiroidayo The more traditionally made and playable baroque mandolins never sell under $1000 (US). Most are in the neighborhood of $5000. The cheapest one I have seen is w w w . lucianofaria . co m. Alfio Leone makes reasonably priced medieval/baroque replicas in the $1000-2000 range as well. His site is w w w . Musikalia . it

  • I saw her play with Mike Marshall last year. She said, "My mandolin is pregnant". Mike Marshall replied, "That's what we call a tater-bug honey"

  • what a nice and antique mandolina!! thankss from Argentina!

  • its WKO 205, original for viola da gamba

  • Can anyone tell me what piece she is playing? I heard her say that it's a fantasy from a D-minor suite by Carl Freidrich Abel, but without an opus number or any info on what instrument it was originally written for I'm having a difficult time finding it. Any help appreciated!

  • was kostet eine solche barockmandoline?

    how much do u think does such a barock mandolin cost?

  • @sevensami The mando she is playing is a "baroque mandolin," and it is a small lute. Steel stringed instruments were not created until about 1744 by Gaetano Vinaccia. From wiki, "... the mandolino [the one in the video] (a small cat gut-strung mandola with six strings tuned g b e' a' d g sometimes called the Baroque mandolin or cat-banjo and played with a quill, wooden plectrum or finger-style) ...." Ralf Leenen plays exquisitie steel string bowl backs. He's on YT and he's very, very good.

  • @sevensami This is what mandolins looked like until the 20th century. What we usually think of as a "mandolin" -- the traditional American bluegrass mandolin with f-holes -- owes its genealogical lineage to bowl-backed mandolins that Italian immigrants brought to the US. Those instruments were indeed essentially "baby lutes," as you say. The f-hole mandolin did not fully catch on in the US until the 1940s when Bill Monroe used on in his band and popularized the bluegrass genre.
