Hi. Great site. I'd never seen a cittern before. Or if I have, I probably just
thought it was a funny shaped guitar. Why does it have a different shape? Anyway,
it doesn't matter. I was wondering. Do you know of any rock bands that have used
a cittern? I'm looking for anything that will give us a leg up on the rest of
the bands here in town.

1) Thank for referencing my homepage on your site. I shall establish a link to
your site as soon as possible. 2) I don't find the word "cittern" in
my dictionary. Is it the same as "zither" or "cithara"? 3)
I have an error to report: the 2nd topic on my site is "Jacobite Songs"
and not "Yacobyte songs". There is perhaps a fault of spelling in my

Hi Thony --
I got to your site from the cbom list. I immediately noticed you new Davy Stuart
mandola. I got one in June 2002. The back and sides in mine are English walnut.
Davy said that was the first mandola he made with that wood. It sure sounds
great!
I use mine primarily with a 5-man group that does a lot of acapella material,
so it islimited to accompaniment and fill-in work on the songs we do with instruments.
Any way, just wanted to say hi!

I enjoyed your tunes very much. Fun to play along with (on a vastly simplified
basis.) Can you suggest a free-ware program to record multi-part wave files? Windows
Sound recorder will only allow about 30 seconds of tune-time. Also, do you have
these tunes available in sheet music form -- pdf or gif?
Some other points of interest: an interest in Visual Basic; and a brother-in-law
in Amsterdam. He wasn't a Dutch speaker when he got there, but now he is an
officially-certified Dutch Speaker. He sounds funny to us now, and we are going
to have him checked for throat disease.
What would the Jacob van Eyk Recorder tunes and variations sound like when
done up by a kitchen-table mandolin orchestra?

for the instrument when I went to see Andy Irvine in Seattle. He was playing a
guitar octave mandolin made by Sobell, very full ringing tone with tons of sustain.

my mandolin) but have never been totally happy with this. On mandolincafe site
there is discusion of a possible celtic mandolin festival "happening"
- you might be interested! Go look. Keep on exploring.

I have enjoyed playing music for many years, semi-professionally (I didn't quit
my day job). The best times are the times I play music with other people, but
I enjoy alone time with my instruments, too. I have a background in rock, but
these days I prefer traditional folk tunes and Celtic things such as the Bothy
Band would do. You get sore fingers when you try to keep up with that stuff! I
teach a little here and there and I love to encourage people to take up an instrument.

Hi, came upon your page via the cittern group, liked the comments on recordings
though I can think of a few good aditions such as Capercaillie, Altan etc, mostly
Bouzouki rather than cittern though Ossian uses a fair bit on cittern. I will
write up some stuff and email it to you.
We don't tend to have many (if any) citterns in tasmania despite a strong Irish/Scottish
music scene. Quite a few bouzoukis though. Most citterns I'm aware of in Australia
are in Western Australia, weird huh?
