Very true. He and his band do some seriously incredible stuff. I think it's a octave mandolin though. Here they called it a "mandola".

Beautiful! 😍👍🏼

That´s another level - another sphere - sooooo beatiful!!!

Beautiful!

Fantastic playing: beautiful and moving. That Shippey sounds wonderful.

Beautiful piece of music, inspired me to purchase an octave mandolin. I'm hoping I can transition over from the guitar.

Hey Ward ! You gave me inspiration to play OM when I heard Scheldewals. So I got myself an OM by Thomas Buchanan. Today I also found out that you will be playing in my hometown of Aberdeen 24th Nov. See you there. Regards Dave

Great to hear! And lovely that we'll see you in Aberdeen then. Best wishes!

Prachtig! Zo mooi gespeeld, en die Shippey... Man man.

This is absolutely stunning playing, really inspiring -- what a gentle rendition. Is this tuned in GDAE or GDAD? I don't suppose you have the notes of the arrangement written down anywhere? Either way, gorgeous playing.

Beautiful. I’m going to learn this on my octave mando asap.

Where can we get the music sheet or tabs?

Such beauty in this, loved discovering it. Have you recorded it on any records?

Hi Charlie. It's an octave mandolin made by the great Paul Shippey.

I have an Irish Bouzouki so I know how difficult it is to get the sound you have. Can you confirm the tuning. I’m guessing it’s GDAE. Also, what is this tune called and can I buy a copy of the Tab. Many Thanks

Thanks so much, great to hear! You're right about the tuning, GDAE it is. Unfortunately I don't have any tab available for the moment. Best wishes from Belgium!

Do you have the standard notation for this ? Would I capo the same fret if I am playing my octave mandolin?

Hey "@YachtEventHorizon I also have an Irish Bouzouki, not many folks play them or not many folks every talk about them on this form, so I'm curious, what make do you have? I have a Fender I. B, and have never seen or heard of another one? Just old and curious and I now have the time to be nosy about yesterday, today and tomorrow!

Hi @MrPHart I have a Thoman Irish Concert Bouzouki PU. It has a Pick Up and is tuned GDAD. They’re advertised for £339 at the moment, which in my opinion is excellent value. The build quality and Sound quality are both very good.

i was wondering what happened to the Silicon Valley guy

Hi Ward. I just buy a octave mandolin because of you! 😄 What a great instrument ! Thanks for the inspiration... Could you please tell me much about the strings you're using, as the pick and the capo? It would help me to start the good way. Once again thanks for these beautiful tunes. It fill me up with good vibrations. Hope to see you live soin! Nathanaël

Thanks so much for your great enthusiasm, Nathanaël! Great to hear you bought an OM! I use a Shubb C5 capo, Elixir strings (013, 022, 032, 045) and Dunlop 0.60mm Tortex picks. Good luck and hope to meet you soon!

@@WardDhoore Thanks for these informations! I'm just working on two of your beautiful tunes : Scheldewals and Morgenzon. "Work in progress" I would Say! When you say Elixir strings, you mean Elixir guitar strings? I bought d'Addario EJ80 to test them as I usualy use Thomastik infeld on my Mandolin but just find out that they don't produce OM strings yet...

Hi Ward, beautiful playing. You are very talented! Are you buying elixir singles? And your A string (0.22), is this wound or unwound? I just got my first ball end string octave and was curious if there are any coated options available so Interesting to hear you are using elixir.
