Ale Carr - två skånska valser på cittern

[@franksabatino7576]

Once again here's a piece of Scandinavian traditional music with a pleasing combination of energy and dignity.

Love this Ale!

[@MicahW1]

I can't get enough of this, it is SO good!

[@IainRichardson]

A year later and I still absolutely love this track.

[@dcorzi]

Stupendous! 😊

[@sedkolessons]

Sounds very nice! Wanted to say: oh, I've heard Ale Carr playing this melody! than realised that you are the composer.

[@MrPiem13]

j'ai eu la chance de le voir à Edimbourg - the usher hall - en début d'année....superbe concert et très belle présence !

[@iwanbop]

Ale Carr, how do you tune your cittern for this piece? Say the 5 courses low to high ---open strings? It's wonderful!

[@alecarrmusic]

Hey! It's my trusty old DGDAD, quite flexible tuning while being open enough to feel free 🙂

[@paddyburgin565]

Brilliant thank you.

[@erwingheller1387]

Beautiful song, is the Cittern tunes the same as the irish bouzuki and where would I be able to find one? Best regards

[@russrobinette3175]

Very, very nice!

[@IainRichardson]

Beautifully played.

Oförskämt lite kommentarer på så fantastiskt musicerande! Du får mig att vilja börja spela låtmandola!

[@FrancescoTurrisi]

This is so good! What a sweet tone too, does anyone know who made this instrument?

[@alecarrmusic]

Thanks! Made by the Swedish luthier Christer Ådin 👍

[@eemelipruiksma]

@@StrongestFiddler oh thanks!

[@Orelaf84]

I think papa ale is great

[@StrongestFiddler]

Good work, son...

[@tammanaq]

Does anyone know which tuning is used?

[@Ah01]

DGDAD

[@malcolmeakin5268]

Mesmerising. Just goes to show that folk are folk ALL over the world. It all sounds so Celtic. Fantastic piece!

[@Boneless_Chuck]

This is incredible! Instant subscribe 🤍

[@heesofi]

För Tjusa.....

[@zakariahaffar]

Great production ! Any idea on what microphone was used for such a good sound from Ale ? Thanks !

[@45067daddymac]

I'm not totally sure but I believe they are Royer ribbon mics.

[@stevev.johnson8181]

That is a Royer, probably a 121, ribbon mic. Those are lovely instruments, very true.

[@inbetweennames4438]

How is it tuned?

[@bassplayinggoalie]

I could be wrong but I think it's DGDAD. Similar to an Irish bouzouki.

[@Ah01]

That's what he himself has said that he tuned in several other videos.
