Caturday mandola

[bowtifulinsights]

Somewhere in a tavern near Macindaw: local boozer: So, you live around here, in Norgate Fief, mandola boy? Will: *laughing and ignoring the word mandola, because he had too much to drink* No! local boozer: *suspiciously squinting his eyes at him* No? Will: *realizes he screwed up; quickly gathers himself and puts on a serious face* I live in the moment.

BMM Mandola

[owl-lover013]

In Will's fourth year of his apprenticeship, Will arrives home with a mandola--much to Halt's chagrin.

---

Welcome to my addition to the Ranger Gathering 2024! I hope to do as many--if not all--of the prompts I can. Seeing as I started a week late, I don't know how well I will achieve that goal, but I'll do my best! Today, this is for Day 7: Culture.

Will: *Casually plays his mandola*

Halt: *Looks at Will's mandola and raises his eyebrow*

Will, knowing what's going to happen: Oh no.

Halt, with a slight grin on his face: Oh yes.

Will had been having a hard time since coming back from Skandia. Halt had thought he was improving over the summer, but with the first snowflakes now falling Will had retreated into himself, becoming more quiet, shivering whenever he looked outside.

And Halt thought he might have found something that would help.

'Just delivered,' the vendor said, placing it on the counter. 'I put a rush on it for you.'

Halt opened up the case to check inside, and as soon as he saw it, he remembered that sunny day in fall.

'When did you get a lute?' Halt asked.

'It's a mandola, actually,' Caitlyn said, plucking the strings. 'A mandola has eight strings tuned in pairs, but lutes have ten strings.' She played a couple of notes. 'Mum got it for me. Ever since...well, since I got ill, Mum's been hoping I could do something "productive", as she called it.'

Yes, that sounded like their mum, indeed. 'Do you like it?' he asked.

Caitlyn smiled. 'I think I do! Listen to this.' And she played him a small little tune, the opening bars of the Ballad of the Sunrise Warrior.

'That is nice, yes,' Halt said. He couldn't stop his mischievous grin. 'Looks like a nice lute.'

'It's a mandola!'

'That will be seventy royals,' the vendor said.

Seventy royals was quite steep on a Ranger's salary.

Halt paid it, and tipped him five extra royals for having it delivered so quickly.

Halt was pouring coffee when he heard Will come in. 'I got the wood all chopped,' he said. 'And the horses have fresh oats—What's that?'

'Some kind of lute,' Halt said, not turning around.

He heard Will walk to the table and open the case, then a quiet intake of breath. It really was a well-made mandola - Halt knew enough about music to know that much.

The vendor had included a small selection of simple music sheets and basic instructions for playing. Will spoke up again after a moment. 'This says it's a mandola. It's similar to a lute, but not quite. Did you buy this?'

Halt shrugged, picking up the mugs of coffee to take them to the table, but before he could take a step Will hugged him tightly from behind, half knocking the wind out of him and almost sending him staggering. After a moment Will let go and went back to the mandola case, and ran his fingers over the strings. He looked up at Halt. 'Can I try it out now?'

It was the first time in a while Will had shown genuine interest in something, and despite his effort to maintain his gruff demeanour, Halt knew some of his relief showed through. 'Oh, all right. It's just a lute, it's not like you can do much harm with it.'

'It's a mandola,' Will said, looking back at it.

'That's what I said,' Halt said, taking his coffee and sitting by the fire. 'A lute.'

Niche Instrument(s) #2 - The Italian Mandolin family

It's hard to find an American folk or bluegrass band that doesn't somehow incorporate the humble mandolin into its musical arsenal, but did you know that this delightfully tiny lute can trace its origins back to Italy?

The mandolin is my personal favorite picked string instrument. Originally created as a variation of the italian mandola lute, the name literally translates as "little mandola."

"But, Artemis," I hear you saying. "What the heck is a mandola?"

A mandola is a traditional Italian folk instrument that was created as a picked-string variant of the classic viola.

As you can see from the pictures, both mandolins and mandolas share several characteristics. They both have four courses of double strings tuned in pairs, which help to give them a distinct "ringing" sound when played. Mandolins, like their orchestral cousin the violin, are tuned G-D-A-E, while Mandolas are tuned C-G-D-A. In other words, if you play violin, you already know the fingering for a mandolin, and if you play viola, you already know the fingering for a mandola!

Some other honorable mentions in the mandolin family are the mandocello (the name speaks for itself: it's the mandola equivalent of a cello), and the octave mandolin, which is the same as a standard mandolin but tuned an octave lower, giving it a deep, resonant tone.

Oh so if I want a string instrument I have to know what TYPE I want? Nobody is willing to put a board for a neck and some strings on any old box for me and call it a day? It has to be some min $200 masterpiece of craftsmanship?
