Weber Fine Acoustic Instruments: Sierra Hull performs Weber Octave in Nashville, TN

[@jamesg7028]

She is playing St. Anne's Reel in case anyone is interested

[@harryf200]

Thanks - was wondering :)

[@DanOstrowski]

Schpudd agreed.

[@betsyc1832]

She is an American National Treasure

[@noneyabidniss4763]

And she has thrown in some really lovely flare in there.

[@tonyschram1260]

Thanks and playing it well, neat instrument.

[@ShadesAndRed]

The range of a banjo, with the timbre of a mandolin. Beautiful.

[@AlaniSugar]

She's so awesome, and talented, and well spoken, and beautiful, and just perfect in every way...

[@destossel]

The Weber Octave is my dream instrument. Someday !

[@4401samr]

It restores my faith in the human race that such an incredible person is out there in the world performing!

[@tompelley949]

My thoughts, exactly!

[@randyelliott9152]

And Molly Tuttle , Sarah Jarosz , Billy Strings ,A.J.Lee ,Michael Cleveland....Such talented musicians ..

[@thereverendsam413]

Lovely playing, lovely instrument, unexpected choice of chair design!

[@PlanetRockJesus]

I LOVE Sierra's playing! So precise!

[@Tonetwisters]

I am an electric guitarist of 61 years. I have recently discovered these mandolin brothers and sisters, and especially like this octave version. Great piece, great playing! If I was single and a hundred years younger, I think I would move to Nashville and follow this talented CUTIE around like a smitten puppy ...

[@terrymckown2441]

I met and played a lot with Sierra when a regular mando was almost as big on her! Hahaha! She had the rhythm of an older seasoned musician at the tender age of 9 and I knew at once she was one of those rare talents that seldom come along. Later, she had plenty of reasons to have an inflated ego but it never happened, it was always about the music. Haven't talked to her in a while now but I'm very sure that hasn't changed. Who knew such a force would blast out of tiny Birdstown, Tn. :)

[@CrooksTrevor]

I've never seen or heard an octave mandolin until now and I'm very impressed. Now I want one. Not to mention Sierra Hull can play it well. She's very talented :)

[@MandolinSunrise]

Really nice performance. Amazing sustain on that instrument, the tune carries on for at least a minute after you stop playing. 1:19 :)

[@weeweelegs]

wonderful talent,great all round wholesome artist

[@KevinHackett]

Holy shit! I just watched the first ten seconds of this and it blew my mind.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

Love her Playing.

[@mitchmatthews6713]

I love the fact that the octave mandolin is almost as big as her!

[@daigo1952]

She mentioned playing some classical music and I've heard her do some Celtic. I would love to hear more of that from her in the future. I think she is a fantastic musician.

[@tannerb5716]

I would absoulutly love to have that instrument .

[@josephwatkins6156]

Great mandolin and player. God Bless!

[@3340steve]

Nice music and I love your relaxed vibe.

[@jimmyoleary8667]

Awesome and beautiful! So is the song !

[@rogerbeaird5742]

I'm learning everyday at 64 started playing at 62 u inspired me to play more 🕎🔯

[@guitarofdestiny]

Excellent sound. Great recording

[@soulvaccination8679]

Beautiful playing.Professional for sure.

[@dennyboleware8408]

Excellent

[@Samandrosajonesar]

Great picking that's for sure. Enjoyed listening to you.

[@dylanduke1075]

God I love her

[@Coopdog1911]

Well played!

[@KevinHackett]

Plus this woman is beautiful and love listening to her talk.

[@briane.paulson]

My favorite person

[@Gunit754055]

shes beautiful and talented and i want that mandolin

[@syalutsa]

difference between an octave mandolin and mandocello is: octave mandolin is tuned G-D-A-E an octave below mandolin and mandocello is C-G-D-A, with strings tuned even lower than that by a fifth.

[@landowar2162]

If I only had the money I'd buy her. The Weber that is. Absolutely beautiful instrument they've made...

[@MagentaCholla]

beautiful, thanks!

[@rainblaze.]

SPLENDED!!!

[@tonyray779]

Awesome!

[@thoyo]

wow. it has some banjo-like sensibilities but it plays so clean. sounds so beautiful

[@stoneoriole]

An octave is tuned one octave below a regular one. so its exactly the same fingerings etc but a long stretch.

[@rachelwilliams3437]

@rugshort: on another youtube video.the 4 finger g chord is both discussed and demonstrated by this young player (as well as other techniques) (july 2012). Surprised you did not already take "note" of it.

[@DannyKoel]

Thanks! That's all I needed to know :D

[@bluwng]

Can you build a mandolin with only 1 string vs pairs, this would facilitate string bends? If it has a pickup you can use effect pedals to get chorus.

[@NickleJ]

"This looks like a toy" is what I said when I played my first mandolin

[@Janlaurenz75]

wow how beautiful she is!!

[@F3502000]

Beautiful instrument, playing, and most definitely beautiful lady!

[@lewis121234]

Really nice playing! I don't suppose anyone knows what the tune is called?

[@alexwillard4853]

+lewis121234 St annes reel

[@oddfellowfloyd]

Awesome playing, Sierra! I am a musician (7-string guitars) with a profound hearing loss, and I'm having to sell my mandolin because it's too high for me to hear, really, anymore, but I'd like to find an affordable acoustic-electric octave mandolin. I can hear the lower strings easier. I know regular mandolins are tuned G, D, A, e; what are the octave ones tuned to? :) Many thanks, and peace!

[@TheJALOBE]

oddfellowfloyd It's just the same but an octave lower. Hence; the much greater size. (8 notes or 12 frets lower)

[@カスカディア国人]

Essentially the high E becomes the same as on guitar so if you can hear the guitar you should be fine with this

[@jongray4828]

See ya at next years Rockygrass Sierra. By the way you are very therapeutic for this rhythmically challenged fan of yours!

[@billwendt1256]

Which model of Weber octave mandolin is she playing and what is the scale length? 20"? 22"?

[@Sweepdog700]

This is great. Want an Octave now! Does anyone know where I can get tab. I have basic St Anne's reel but like this version.

[@Sweepdog700]

Roland Lee thank you, I appreciate your reply. I have saved the tab and will get working on this great tune 👍

[@VadiaRotor]

adorable!

[@Aljoshaaa]

lovely :) , people You shoulda try mandocello :)

[@DannyKoel]

What's, besides the tuning, the difference between an octave mando and a mandocello?

[@luke_reiss]

I prefer the octave mandolin over the smaller ones. If I could get one some day, I would even prefer it over 12-string acoustic guitars.

[@antobeat]

Hi! yes...I agree. Not really comparable to a guitar though but I see your point

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

yes,I really like the range of it, small normal ones have a nice sound to them, but lol I'm lonely and the octave seems great for playing solo, or I bet it would sound amazing in a band, but man they are expensive

[@ised-5239]

The octave mandolin is the tenor mandolin whereas the small regular mandolin is the contralto mandolin ones.

[@LouderGrawlix]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's amazing to me that people with this much talent exist, and the people who wind up with most of the money and awards are auto-tuned bimbos and thugs who talk over drum beats. It's a weird world.

[@DannyKoel]

Yes, I know that the tuning is different, but is the size of the mandolin any different?

[@jetho69]

magic

[@jimmyoleary8667]

What is the Tuning from high to Low???

[@mdhj67]

Can I get that box with a guitar neck?

[@DENIEL381]

WONDER HOW MUCH IS THE COST. ?????????

[@JordanRiehm]

what music store is she at?

[@robertturner5138]

Remember listening to her with Alison Krauss. The girl can certainly play the mandolin.

[@PaulMauser]

Yes, it's a lot larger.

[@kls1653]

Wow........she is something!

[@skankhunt-vw8xr]

Those chairs.

[@76IPV]

Beautiful girl

[@theleastcreative]

What is the name of this song again?

[@omarbonilla8813]

Found it! It's called St. Anne's Reel.

[@theleastcreative]

Omar Bonilla I should have known that. Thank you !

[@omarbonilla8813]

theleastcreative no worries! It was driving me nuts until it popped up in my Spotify radio

[@OshywottersMusic]

Beautiful. She, is gorgeous. The mandolin, is near flawless. Making a perfect pair. ^^ Absolutely wonderful musician she is~

[@chrisstanford3652]

🤗👍

[@flamencoprof]

So, it's 2/3 of a 12 string guitar. :-)

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

I wonder if she can do a 4 finger G chord.

[@grabon799]

какие локоны как у императрицы

[@Boggerdansken]

It's a big difference,in my opinion. You need to have a different finger technique and you need to ornament differently and so on.

[@WoYendor]

lol @ 0:45 xD

[@HotRodSixString]

Lets see a full G chord on that one .

[@octavefuzz.]

mandocello is the apropiate name

[@soulmacao]

Luis Miranda No. Its an Octave Mandolin.

[@Niven42]

Nope. Mandocello is tuned like a cello, CGDA, basically a fifth lower than the octave mandolin. They also sound very much like a cello when you play classical cello suites on them. Mandola (tuned like a viola) has more overlap with the octave mandolin.

[@Niven42]

A friend of mine pointed out that you can capo an octave mandolin in the 5th fret and basically have a mandola at that point. However, you can’t practically tune that lowest string on the octave mandolin down to the mandocello range without a lot of fret buzz or changing strings, which the neck might not be strong enough to handle.

[@ised-5239]

@@Niven42 Mandocello is the octave mandola instead.

[@saoirsepaddy]

Damn she good picker & Beautiful too

[@JMDenver]

St.Anne's Reel

[@oliveroneill1388]

St Anns reel

[@essentialjudge2279]

I think it's just a regular mandolin and she's a half octave small haha

[@raysims890]

Mandachelo.

[@MrRazorblade999]

I have a mandolin but it doesn't do that.

[@inatightspot]

Awesome instrument.

[@garybickerton4587]

[@chriss2295]

Thumbnail - I thought it was a little girl playing a mandolin.

[@bottomsupbass]

isnt she lovely

[@oliveroneill1388]

Cap o. Cape o. No

[@crazylikeafox1000]

It makes you look like you are 5 years old playing a mandolin, lol

[@lorettabain1605]

unlike miley cyrus this girl keeps her cloths on

[@Halfadrop]

hardly the most remarkable thing about her tho

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

Lol and she is still better looking. Besides any chick that can play a banjo, mandolin or acoustic guitar is a big plus (especially for me ; )

[@steveburton2410]

And she can because she has actual talent, ability and skill. Awesome playing Sierra, I'll bet you hit those four-string G-chords every time these days...

[@HunterJs2]

What a fucking retarded comment, holy shit.

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

Does it really matter if she does or doesn't? She's got talent, I don't care if she dresses like a nun or wears nothing but fidget spinners on her nipples.

[@russelmurray9268]

Looks like a toy?
