Very nice. Hope you enjoyed your holiday and drove carefully while
you were playing.
How many courses - or strings does this mandore have and how is it
tuned?
How does it compare with the pieces in the Gallot book?
cheers
Monica
I think the Skene mandore hasa doubled bass course and the rest single
(but I'm playing five singles). The Skene stuff is backward looking for
its time (especially compared to the Chancy pieces of roughly the same
time). The Gallot pieces and the Chancy) have the top course tuned down
by various amounts. The Gallot pieces are fully French style.
