Absolutely! Cavers of Kirkcudbright is also one of my favourite jigs!

Thank you very much! I'm using Elixir Strings, .010 .014 .023 .030 .045, plain steel for the higher pairs, 80/20 bronze for the rest, except for the lowest pair which is phosphor bronze, since I'm an idiot and bought the wrong kind when I placed my order! They are very bright, and hopefully will last longer than the D'Addario set that I usually go for, which gets very dull very quickly :)

Vielen Dank! :D

@@Corvid Thank you very much! I can confirm it will sound great on the mandolin :) I tried it on the tenor banjo, same tuning, it's very interesting as well!

@@FostersLab What tuning are you in here?

@@Corvid That would be GDAda, so like an Irish bouzouki with an extra pair of A strings!

@@FostersLab Perfect, thanks!

@@BB-pn2qv Thank you!! :)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) I learned the version played by Benedict Morris in his BBC 2019 Young Trad Awards perfomance on BBC Music's channel. The tune is mistakenly called The Raft Race in the description though. The cittern has a different tuning than the fiddle, I'm tuned GDADA, which allows me to let these Ds and As ring out through the whole B basically. I also play the tenor banjo, which is tuned like a fiddle, and it's difficult to get the same effect :)

@@FostersLab Thank you! I'll be able to pick out the B part from his fiddle version so very much more easily. Cheers!

Thank you!!

Thank you very much! I used Sony Vegas, an older version that I got for cheap in a humble bundle a while ago. Does the job, for as long as one does not need anything fancy :)

I see you've done your research! Very well, I'll get to it :D

@@FostersLab No need searching for a guy vho's at the top of the charts !

Thank you so much!

Merci beaucoup ! :D

Thank you so much!

Go for it! I completely get the sentiment, it happens to me as well. But I guarantee it's worth trying :)

Thanks, Tucker! :)

Merci Marie ! :D

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

no problem @@FostersLab

Thank you so much, Philleann!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much! Allow me to go on a tirade about the setup in this video: I had received it in the post a couple of days prior. I bought it second hand, so I do not know who set it up, but it had a very low action and Thomastik flatwounds. It was so lovely to play! However, it was absolutely not loud enough for the plans I had for it, which were to take it to my local Irish session, so I swapped the strings for D'Addario roundwounds and had it setup with a higher action, which you can hear in other videos. I also have to say that the recorder I used probably has some kind of built-in compressor/limiter, which may have taken a part in the sound in this video. Thanks for watching :)

Thank you, I’ve just ordered the same model.

@@JohnCarr43 I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Bonsoir Antoine, Merci pour votre message ! Je n'ai plus cette basse, mais voici le modèle en question : www.thomann.de/fr/harley_benton_b_650_black_progressive_series.htm J'utilise les cordes d'origine, filets ronds, je n'en sais pas plus. Le poids n'est pas indiqué sur le site, mais clairement, ça n'est pas une basse légère, si c'est important pour vous. A bientôt !

Rohlala, quel compliment ! Merci <3

Banban !

Merci beaucoup ! :D

Yes, I highly recommend it! So fun to play on the mando :)

Thank you so much! :)

Hey there :) Thanks for asking! I probably won't put in the time and effort for a full version. I'm working on session tunes and my own, at the moment :) Sorry!

Thank you very much :)

J'ai toujours été plutôt du matin ! :)
