Best tuning for mandola(octave mandolin) - The Session
2006年1月28日 · I used the standard tuning on my Trinity College OM for many years, then gave the GDAD tuning a try. What I like for my Mandolin is GDGD and ADAD. I like the ADAD tuning becuase you bring that low G up, on my OM it sounds kind of flabby at G, but sparks up alot at A. Both tunings bring the OM closer to a guitar sort of tuning with the added 4ths.
baritone uke in gdae octave mandolin tuning - The Session
2013年8月2日 · Re: baritone uke in gdae octave mandolin tuning Good question, Chris. Tenor guitars are steel strung, 4-strings, usually tuned DGBE, CGDA or GDAE and with a common scale length of 23inches (though I’ve seen ranges from 21-25inches listed) .
Any advice on Octave Mandolin tunings?? - The Session
2011年2月22日 · Re-entrant tuning also adds to the plunka plunka sound of the smaller higher uke-type instruments. Chord patterns and shapes are the same for all uke-like instruments and SSD albeit only using the top four in the latters’ cases. My intent on obtaining the octave mandolin/ ‘zouk was to get used to the ‘Irish/ fiddle’ tuning GDAE.
Mandolin GDAD tuning - The Session
2018年8月27日 · Counter melody isn’t really used in Irish traditional music, but if it was a mandolin wouldn’t be the right instrument to do it with, an octave mandolin would be a better choice. The reason being that when seveal instruments are playing different notes at the same time the brain naturally tracks the highest pitch and hears that as the ...
Octave mandolin chords - The Session
2014年4月15日 · I’ve had an Octave mandolin around the house for a few years, and if I am going to play tunes, I like it in GDAE like my fiddle so I can just play the tune. When I am backing, though, I really like the GDAD tuning.
12 string Octave Mandolin - The Session
2005年10月8日 · With a C on the 5th string, at the 7th fret you get G D A E on the middle 4 strings; a full blown octive mandolin tuning. Maybe, then, G C G D A D in something to be explored, giving the typical bouzouki tuning (GDAD) at the nut and the typical octave mandolin tuning (GDAE) at the 7th fret where melody is easier to play.
Mandolin Ukulele Tuning - The Session
2024年6月10日 · Responding to Nigel’s comment-- I’m a big fan of ukes tuned in fifths (like a mandola/mandolin). Mandola tuning is about right for a concert sized uke. (Mandolin tuning, which would be for a soprano uke, tends to sound a little plinky). Good for quiet practice, but way more satisfying when you combine it with a pickup/amp and a little reverb.
What are the fundamental differences betwixt a bouzouki and an …
2015年5月13日 · I definitely play a bouzouki, from both the scale length and the octave tuning; BUT I tune it GDAE, and play tunes and accompaniments on it. Sure, you have to throw your hand around a bit, compared to, say, a tenor banjo, but it’s all worth it for the tone. I find the octave mandolin dull in tone by comparison.
Octave Mandolin or Bouzouki? - The Session
2002年3月17日 · I have been reading quite a bit of info in the last couple of years about octave mandolins and bouzoukis. In this thread, I will call an octave mandolin an “octave” (scale length roughly 20-23.5 in.), and a bouzouki a “zook” (scale length roughly 23.5-26.
GDae versus GDad tuning - The Session
2007年8月28日 · The GDAD tuning begs that the open D become a drone and is probably more suited to accompaniment than the GDAE tuning. Not that you can’t play single string notes with GDAD, of course, but it works better as a chordal tuning while it limits the use of the B note. An drone open string has a wonderful sound for backup. The other issue is scale ...
