Sierra Hull must be recognised as one of the greatest living musicians of this age on any instrument. There are some utterly extraordinary talents across the musical spectrum and she is definitely among the best of them.
Heart of Kentucky. Hi Sierra Hull. Great pickin' on the Octave Mandolin. Everything you do is top of the line. You are one of our country's best. Katie.
Only ever seen an F style that large once, at a shop in Washington, DC in the early 00's, was $375 and I'll never stop regretting deciding against purchasing it
Is it just me or are female musicians in American having a moment? Rhiannon Giddens, A.J. Lee, Molly Tuttle... that's the beginning of the list, not the end. And here we have Sierra Hull promising us great music and high performance standards for decades to come. Really amazing and gratifying.
You couldn't be more right. We are living in an absolute golden age of women musicians absolutely killing it in every genre. The problem is, according to the press, there is only one women musician making any music at all. If Taylor Swift (a mediocre musician) were not sucking all the oxygen out of the room, some of these other, far more talented, musicians might get a second or two in the spotlight. Maybe if they all started wearing a glittering onesie, they would get some recognition, too.
Sierra, being this talented, may never really need to BUY an instrument...various makers would be happy to have her play one of "theirs"& the endorse it by saying..."I like the sound of this one"!
Marvelous. Sure looks the size of a Mandocello. Maybe it's just me but there sure seems to be an explosion of odd but wonderful stringed instruments recently.
Anyone know what song this is? I really wish Carter Vintage would add the song names to their videos. They feature so many great artists playing song's I'd really like to learn!
I would love to know the name of the tune Sierra is playing. Is it an original composition? Anyway, I really dig it, and the sound of the octave mandolin. It's a Duff!
The comment about the player’s size is BS. The size of the mandolin Is relevant because it has an amazing deep sound . and it sounds great because it’s being played by a great player.
Perhaps someone called it an Octave Mandola meaning exactly that. (A Mandocello is one octave below a Mandola and the many who call an instrument tuned one octave below a Mandolin by the misnomer "Octave Mandola" need to stop!)
That’s what I was thinking; other octaves I’ve seen are usually smaller. And there’s a video of Chris Thile playing a Gilchrist mandochello, there at Carter’s, and it’s about this size. But I guess not.
