One of my kids picked up a mandolin at a neighbour's garage sale years ago, and I always thought it would be fun to learn to play it -- but I soon discovered that my fingers weren't nearly nimble enough on its narrow neck (there's a reason I play a 12-string guitar)!
I'm always amazed by performances like this one. Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Mandolins (RV 352) is a delight to hear, and the work of Sebastiaan de Grebber and Ferdinand Binnendijk of the Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra Het CONSORT is incredible -- their timing is bang on. See if you don't agree.
