Antique Neapolitan Mandolin by Giuseppe Casini

[@Mark-ce9zx]

​You are right ,what I can say is ,because you are a mandolin maker ,but at the same time you can play good the mandolin that is a plus ,because you can understand more about the sound ,what many mandolin makers and violin makers are not able to do .If that is a your mandolin to me appear to be a really good mandolin .Congratulations

Technically not so correct

[@lucassobieranski9089]

can you elaborate on this please? as an author of that piece I think I get to choose what technique I use

[@Mark-ce9zx]

You are free ,but what is coming out from the mandolin is the answer .Still good to hear but not so correct techically .

[@lucassobieranski9089]

@@Mark-ce9zx ok but you see, I never had a single mandolin lesson so am just curious which part of my technique is incorrect

[@GilbertKoller-y9k]

Correct answer

[@Mark-ce9zx]

I don't give lessons through You Tube ,but I can suggest you to go to a good mandolin teacher ,so you can get some advice to improve I am not saying you don't play good ,simply you can paly better .

[@lucassobieranski9089]

well not exactly looking for an advice or a teacher as my videos are mostly to show how the instruments sound like, not how I play them. I spend most of time working on restorations so taking lessons without having time to practice would be pretty much pointless

@@Mark-ce9zx Mandolin itself was made by Giuseppe Casini in Naples, I had to do a few little things like replacing a fretboard to return it to playable state
