Is the Mandola the perfect Celtic instrument? Tuned a fifth lower (CGDA) and about 2 inches longer than a mandolin, the mandola is excellent for Celtic music as a solo or band instrument. The Celtic Mandola Music Book (Alto Clef Edition) is packed with great tunes, chords, exercises, and technique tips, adding to a limited selection of books. This book was written specifically for the mandola and will help you get the most from the alto voice range. The mandola is akin to the viola in the string orchestra but can also be an excellent solo instrument. Blends well with guitars, violins and other string instruments. There are two editions for sale of this book, one written in alto clef and the other in treble clef. Choose which edition best suits your reading skill. Notation, tablature, chords, fingerings and slurring are included in the over 40 pieces. Highly recommended for all mandola players from best-selling author Brent Robitaille. There is a selection of audio and video tracks on the author's website. See details inside the book.
