A nice live video of Caterina Lichtenberg. Playing in the Baroque style Solo mandolin recording, enjoyed by mandolinists, mandolin symposium classical music on the mandolin
@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
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!
@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.
The instrument looks more like a baby Oud but has a beautiful sound/tone!!

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"
