Dear all,
Talking about baroque mandolins:
Last year I played Vivaldi's oratorio Juditha Triumphans with the Venice
Baroque Orchestra. There is an aria with a mandolin solo. The concert at the
Concertgebouw Hall in Amsterdam was broadcasted live for the Dutch Television
channel CULTURA and
I forgot to mention that the name of the mandolin player is Mauro Squillante.

Not being a mandolino player I hope you don't object to me intruding
and commenting on Timmerman's (fine) performance and the volume he
generates from the instrument. Of course, since the piece is recorded
we have no real means of knowing the volume - for all I know it could

Dear Stuart,
I am not the mandolin player. He is called Mauro Squillante and indeed he plays
with a plectrum. I was playing the archlute (not in this aria of course)

My apologies, Alfonso.

Somewhere there is a catalogue of strings intended for shipment to
Vivaldi's famous Ospedale della Piet`a. I don't remember the level of
detail, but do remember it lists strings for mandolin. I think I have
a transcription of that document someplace, but am not certain. I'll

Hey, mandolinists have little enough music! Tell that guitarist to give it

Dear Eugene,
Thank you for this. Not being at all familiar with the mandolino, I was
unaware of, what to my mind, seems such high tension (4Kg) being
normally employed on the finger plucked instrument of only around 32cm
string length. No wonder someone remarked about 'iron

Correction: With the high course at ca. 0.5 mm and e'' on early Neapolitans
and ca. 0.4 mm and g'' on 4th-tuned mandolini, the difference in tension
approaches negligible. If anything, the tension on recent use of early
Neapolitan mandolins may have been informed by what was possible with the

Technically, kg is a measure of mass, but it's a little easier to grasp than
tensions. Simply speaking, when you draw a string to pitch, associating
something like 4 kg to that string's tension means it is equivalent to the
amount of effort that would be required to hold a mass of 4 kg. I'm
