Descant Waldzither (mandola format) sound sample

So, this former descant Waldzither is now a mandola with its original scale length of 390mm. That's a bit short for a mandola (usually 420mm), but I think it works fine. It certainly looks more sensible with the bridge in the right place. I think it works well and I'm glad I made the change. Same tune, same fingering, so it's now in C instead of G - 'The Girl I Left Behind Me' aka 'Brighton Camp'.

Hello sir. I noticed you haven’t posted anything this year. I hope you were safe during these trying times. The few of us here really miss your content.

Many thanks for your warm message. My family and I are keeping well thank you. I repaired a Vega cylinder back mandolin earlier in the year and have been trying to learn an ambitious tune to play on it. It takes me a looong time because I'm not much of a player but hopefully I will be able to post another video before Christmas :-D Not as many suitable mandolins around as there used to be and I've been spending most of my time building new instruments.
