    I must say I like the sound of the cittern, the bouzouki and the mandola the best. It is not that the other instruments are not equally interesting, but I prefer a bright sounding string instrument the most.

    Octave mandolin, not a mandola. Nice instruments. Tom Kimber gets my vote, about 12 minutes in. American tune, on a mandolin with a ridiculously wide neck... 20 minutes definitely not wasted. Thanks, guys.

    Could you explain what an F Mandolin is?

    • @Nkforster
      @Nkforster  Před 4 lety +1

      Its a mandolin where the soundholes are in the shape of an F. Like a violin. Mandolins usually have F holes or a round/oval hole.

    • @traumaland8603
      @traumaland8603 Před 3 lety +1

      Just as a point of interest, in the US, F refers to the body style. F style mandolins have a scroll at the top of the body, whereas A style mandolins have the more traditional rounded shape. The F shaped holes appeared in mandolins around 100 years ago and due to the added volume and more balanced high end output they are widely favored over the more traditional round hole mandolins, at least in bluegrass circles.
