The italian instruments might be a good idea, especially the "big"
Presbler mandola. Thanks for the pictures. First of all I wait to see
what happens now....

I don't know if they're on your radar, but will the Italian relatives that are often
referred to as "mandola" or similar be included? See, e.g., this paired 1790s
mandolino and mandola by Presbler held by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Subject: [LUTE] Mandora/Gallichon website
Dear Lute-List,
I'm going to set up a website about the 18th century mandora/gallichon.
This might be a place for general information about the instrument(s), its
history, where it has been played, composers, and, and, and.....but also
information about where to find a player, a lutemaker, and last but not least a
download page for lots of pieces.
Those who already know a bit about 18th century mandora music: don't be afraid!
I'm not going to present hundreds of bad and boaring menuets there. Amongst all
the manuscripts which I have (quite a lot, in copy of
course) I've found many interesting pieces, technically not to much demanding,
often with nice melodies, and sometimes music of high quality in baroque or
gallant style.
During the last years I've made a collection of my favorite pieces and suites,
and I made readable copies of it with Fronimo. Probably other mandora players
did the same. So why not putting together the whole mandora wisdom and
repertoire and collect it in the web, downloadable for free and open to all.
That's quite a lot of work of which I've already done a bit. Therefore I would
like to ask the mandora players of amongst us (I know there are
some....) to participate to this idea, and to contribute whatever might be of
interest.
You can have a look to this very basic website with just an index-page, a completely
empty "about Mandora"-page and the impressum (which is obligatory in Germany).
The web adress is: www.gallichon.de
But some buttons are already there, and so at least you can see which themes I
have integrated until now. But that's just work in progress, and to be filled
with real information soon. If you have any suggestion about what else should
be there, if you have any material to share, don't hesitate to contact me. The
website shall be in english and german. As you certainly have seen I'm not a
native speaker. Any help in transforming my poor english into something closer
to good english is welcome.
Let's try it.
Rainer
