Slightly OT, but I know there are early mandoline lurkers out there. What do we know about baroque mandoline picking: up-down with down like thumb-index in Renaissance lute technique, confirming the beat with a natural inégal, some more elaborate patterns like Quants' flute articulation schemes, mostly down with the occasional up for easy string changing or just as it comes? Not that OT, as we have related instruments it might have something to say for our playing.
David - heard a lovely mandoline playing 'our' lute concerto by Vivaldi today and was wondering about HIP articulation/picking on the instrument -- ******************************* David van Ooijen [email protected] www.davidvanooijen.nl ******************************* To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
