- I came home from Nashville today to find the most beautiful instrument lying on my bed! I transposed a piece from my cello studies to help get acquainted with it. Thank you Weber Family! I can't put it down! Keep in touch with SHEL - shelmusic.com

I think one of the wonderful things (among many) about Bach is how beautifully his pieces translate to different instruments. I play this piece on my bass clarinet for example and totally enjoy it even if Bach probably never heard a clarinet in his life. Thanks so much for your beautiful and soulful playing too. Found it very inspirational!
Never imagined one of the Cello Suites would sound so amazing on a mandolin, but it totally works! Masterfully played.
That was WONDERFUL! Bach himself would say "Wunderschön"!
Eva, well peformed, as usual. You really are an extraordinary musician. Thanks again for visiting us in Alamosa and I'm dropping in my video response to this just for fun. :)
Wonderful! Great transcription too; can't see your right hand in the video but not so easy to go from bowing to flat picking, I'd imagine. Love to hear you play some Granados (Danza Espanola?) on the mandolin or octave mandolin sometime. You are a treasure!
You are the Instrument ,the notes ,the emotion , and inspiration ✨ Beautiful Moments. ... Thanks for sharing
thank you eva you are a very talented girl I like you and shel
Right on
I have a Gibson L48 that kept breaking strings, so I finally gave in and let it be what it really wanted to be, a mandocello, with four strings. Hidden in the Bach cello suites I found all these wonderful jazz chords and used them to construct new works, in a very Brazilian mode. The journey never ends. This is some beautiful playing. Thanks!
After hearing it on that, the octave mandolin, I think it sounds more appropriate to the cello composition. I hear this a lot on mandolin and play it on mandolin--it sounds almost like something written for the sonatas/partitas on that, but on this, indeed the intent for the cello is more obvious. The fingering is more challenging on this as well.
Excellent!

Beautiful! Great work and well done!
That's really extraordinary. Really good prelude to pick for the mandolin family and beautifully played. Thanks!
Octave mandolin can also be called tenor mandolin since it is tuned exactly like a tenor violin where mandolins are tuned exactly like violins, and like an irish tenor banjo that is tuned the same, whereas a normal mandolin as in bluegrass band is the alto mandolin ones.
Octave mandolin is a mandolin tuned one octave below the regular mandolin and a mandola tuned one octave below the regular mandola is called a mandocello.
What was that I didn't hear ya I couldn't over whoever making that beautiful sound.
Nice. 😊
Those are very nice mandos, folks. Get one, if you can -- well worth the price.
In your hands, it sings like an angel.
Eva, this is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to hear you play it in person.
beautiful... octaved is so better than conventional mandolin in this song. I would like to try it.
So I need a webber? Is that the trick. I thought you had mad talents that the untalented can't even fathom. "Cheers to sound gods ,who voice through you..."
Remarkable, beautiful, impressive
Awesome job, congrats!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Magic.
I like Bach...!!!!!!
Wow. Just wow. Sounds beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous!
thank you
Beautiful sound!
Really a great performance. Bravissima! In your hands the Octave mandolin sounds wonderful!
Sounds great Eva
Lovely!
Sounds sweet! Love those webbers!
FAB! That piece of music is like a prayer to nature for me, my fave.
Who needs a harpsichord? Johann and I are both proud.
Wonderful 👏👏👏👏
Lovely. Thank you for posting!
That was a lot of Bach.And good to.
I have no words
Gorgeous!
Beautifully done. Thank you!
🌹
that is really, really good playing...love the dynamics; and so clean...
Very, very good job
Excellent
A really beautiful version of this tune. Thank you!
Fantastic
Amazing, but I can't decide if you just made me keep my Octave or made me want to sell it right away ;-)
Well done.
Beautiful Love this music ... I am learning it
on reg. Mando. I really like the sound you are getting. It sounds really cool Well done..
Gorgeous rendition!
Like a boss.
Wow! I'm about half way through learning this piece and you've really inspired me. Such a wonderful rendition.
Well done. That octave mandolin I like, others sound too much like a guitar.
Anyone play the prelude to Suite 6 on mandolin?
Lovely music from a lovely lady.
WOW!!.THAT'S AMAZING.
@mcrkid22 Yes, I realize that. Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin were masters on the mandolin as well as many other stringed instruments. Jones especially is a very underrated musician & this tune reminds me of their concert at Earls Court in London way back in the 70's. Page & Jones did an entire set of acoustic songs while Plant sang along.
What a treat. Thank you.
Probably one of my favorite pieces to play on cello, very well done!
lovely and delightful thank you
Beautifully played!
really nice.
Beautiful!!
Wonderful playing, and beautiful sounding instrument, Eva!
Does it have the standard Weber OM 22" scale? Sounds marvelous.
I'm sure we'd love to hear some Zeppelin-inspired material on that wonderful instrument!
Thanks for posting.
Nicely done!
Yeeeaaaaah!
Wow!!! Really so nice--such great tone and wonderful playing.
Thank you: inspiring and beautiful to watch your fingers and soul play.
That Weber is certainly a nice instrument, with a decent amount of sustain, unlike those with the percussive 'Gibson sound' which doesn't really suit this kind of music. Of course the Bach Cello suites work well on a Tenor Mandola as they were originally written for the Tenor Violin, also known as the 'Violoncello Piccolo' which uses exactly the same tuning. You play it well.
no words
Beautiful...
Great playing! God Bless you! :)
Extraordinaire. Compliments.
Very nicely done. Many folks post videos of this but few really seem to feel the music the way you do.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing.
I play mandolin very badly and I know this piece. Although there are some technical problems in your playing (mainly scraping) I thought it was wonderfully sensitive. I wish I could play like you.
There is a lot more sliding about on an octave than on a mandolin. You have twice the scale length.
Congratulations on the new instrument, and very impressive performance.
I have heard that piece played on a Mandocello before but not an Octave Mandolin, I very much enjoyed hearing your high quality rendition of it on the octave :) I played guitar for years before playing mandolin, I immediately fell in love with the mandolin and as such am greatly looking forward to getting my own octave :) Thanks for posting
Beautifu! Thank you!
Lovely.... and so was the music.....:)....
Très inspiré! Timbre recherché! Bravissimo!
Weber puts together a nice mandolin.
Whimsical!!!
Je l'adore!
Sounds beautiful.
Yesss!
How do you adjust finger positions on this vs. Mando? Ive got a bouzouki and i notice i have to use pinky for 5th fret and outright move hand for 6th...sometimes it makes me change how i play a tune altogether. Sounds wonderful though
Megan that is wonderful. Way beyond my level of play, I am a bit amazed..... I am inspired though.... it may take a couple of years but I will learn it phrase by phrase from your video. Thank you soooo much
Congrats on the new octave mandolin.....and a Weber to booth....I'm jealous !
Actually....also jealous of your playing. Very well done.
Thanks for sharing :-)
Sounds great! Nice looking mando too!
Beautifully played
Nicely done!!!!!
So well done!!! I have a medieval bouzouki by Stevens Custom Guitar, Munich Germany. Absolutely gorgeous instrument to look at as well as to play and listen to. I fingerpick using varigated pattern picking. Would love to learn to play like you do tho.
Bravo
Well Done! Thank you so much for sharing your interpretation!
Great playing and nice sound.
Oh, man! Octave Mando is the solution to EVERYTHING!!!
beautiful, gonna have to learn it , i d like to know how the strap is attached to the neck... ?
