Ian Stephenson plays an NK Forster Celtic F mandolin. This mandolin combines the classic "Celtic" mandolin shape with the soundboard arching and thicknessing you'd normally associate with an American mandolin.
Listen to the whole tune - and enjoy the music.

This is my favourite instalment, and I love the style of music. I got a mandolin yesterday, I want to eventually be able to do this.

Don't stop playing! It's hard at first and it may seem like you're not making progress but I promise if you keep playing you will. Happy playing!

Same here!

Just got mine yesterday too, though I have a few years of uke experience. Anyways how’s it going now?

Circling back to this and that mando is quite unique. The standard mandolin used in bluegrass has a narrower neck all the way down. This model makes it so much more accessible for those with sausage fingers. I absolutely love this instrument. It kind of reminds me of the flat iron mandolins with its body size. This one sounds miles better than the flat iron though.

I can picture this being played at a local pub in Sligo while enjoying a good pint

Well played, and that big body gives it so much resonance.

Ta, I hope to have another video made this year - of my Celtic "O" mandolin. It'll be nice to compare the two.

@bcr07pzu Год назад

awesome

@erics8751 6 лет назад

Fantastic. The quality of playing is superb, and I wish I was that talented. I know the tune was The Frost Is All Over

@Nkforster 6 лет назад

Ta, I didn't know that. Where is the tune from?

@erics8751 6 лет назад

Sadly I don't know more than that. I do, however, know it's Celtic in origin, and the lyrics revolve around a woman who married a soldier. The rest of the tune played here is a mystery to me.

@tradbantradban681 5 лет назад

I am very familiar with the common jig "Frost is all Over" - this is not it but may be an alternative version - if so I would love to get confirmation or another name for this tune. A wonderful tune beautifully played. Many thanks

@jonahguitarguy 7 лет назад

Lovely instrument and great playing. Could you tell what the nut width is please? It looks wider than blue grass style A or F type. That appeals to the guitar player in me.

@raymoore6277 5 лет назад

Great tune, in the middle of working it out thanks to slow down on RU-vid, but taking an age, don't spoze there is a tab anywhere.? If I listen to it enough it will be in my head, but I'm 65 and the head don't work like it used to.
