Video

Northfield - can we get some more videos of the eleocto in a jam setting? Fretless middle-eastern slide and fingerpicking solo work (on your playlist) is great, but I'd love to see how it fits with a band: drums, bass, guitar, etc.

track 4 on her original album, I think she was still a teenager then, amazing.

They all sound great. I would trade my Gibson A9 for an A5 special if I could.

The person filming Don's awesome rendition of Swing 42 picked the worst possible angle to record this. The notes Don is fretting cannot be seen.

Hi Derek!

So much fun ahahahaa

Who built that great sounding guitar? 😮

Derek, thank you for making this video. I have looking for a good quality comparison of your A style mandolins. I especially love the tone of the A4 Special.

They all sound wonderful, please do a comparison of your F style models as well...especially any with the wide nut option.

Reminds me of some of Pat Metheny's early explorations, eg on Watercolors!

Does anyone know the price of these Mandolins? Kind regards

Play the thing, ffs. What on earth does it sound like?

Awesome, draw a lot of inspiration to now finish my songs I wrote for mandolin, thank you. 🙏🏽

I know it’s been a while, but that was wonderful Sierra! I love all the musical references/reminiscences.

Fascinating🤩

I have to say, that is a GREAT sounding mandola! (And Jake brings out the best it's got)

Great . Is that a fretless mandolin or what ? Cheers

She's amazing ❤

This woman plays every possible instrument better than any I've ever played any, and that's quite a few. Sarah is awesome.

My gosh I love this tune. I just found it on David Benedict’s patron page & printed out the tabs. Do you have tabs for this?

❤❤❤!! Very well done Sarah…

sounding some carnatic vibes

In my opinion, the two best tones in mandolin, playing a beautiful tune masterfully. There are countless versions of this tune on YT, but I keep coming back to this one

Beautiful! Husband and wife. Sounds like our marriage in many ways. Thank you.

/great !!!

I am a singer and play solo folk and celtic often, I suspect the Englemann may be better for vocal accompaniment or...? Thanks

She's the real thing. There are very few real songwriters around in the traditional sense of melody originality and invention. It requires work and genius. Sarah is my current favorite.

This rendition of "Flatbush Waltz," is outstanding ! Andy Statman would be proud . I hope he puts it into tablature and sells it on his website ! Beautiful mandolin !

Incredible! Just came across this and hope you’re still playing!!❤️

Beautiful, thank you x

If you like a more modern tone go engleman......if you r like me and want a more vintage tone go Adirondack

Lil sisters name?when were young our semblance on death is simple innocent.the more we live the thoughts evolve change,our lost ones become like their here! Thanks,

There is nothing Catarina cannot play. Amazing.

Catarina, do you still offer lessons via Skype or other system?

Awesome!

❤

Love this version Emory, it touches my soul

Nice playing and nice sounding instrument. What's the name of that tune? Very lovely.

Great Musician, great composition, great instrument!

She’s brilliant

sounds scando

Great job, nice tone

Why do you keep turning the tone knob (for the jazz bass pickup) down when going to the piezo only? Silly and useless!!!

She is amazing - love the sound of that Mandochello - or whatever its called

Sir, I never lose the melody when you pick. To me if I can not hear the melody they ain't playing the song. Good Stuff

I'll tell you what, that might be my favorite video on CZcams. John song is in my head all day every day. When I play it on my mandolin, I feel like I'm floating. It's a brilliant brilliant song and listening to him and Sierra play...... It is just heaven on earth.

I love the fact that Don Julin plays Zep on his mandolin! I think his version of The Rain Song is even better!
