    Here’s my arrangement of Vivaldi’s Concerto in C for Mandolin, performed on two Mirabella archtops.


    One is my brand-new Fabio Mittino Signature Model: a guitar I’m truly grateful for.

    The other is a Mirabella Trap Door, recorded with its Tonemaster Pickup and an Ear Trumpet Labs microphone, while the Signature Model was captured simply with a DPA 4099.
    Both are strung with Galli Strings (one with flats, one with roundwounds).

    Many thanks to Cristian Mirabella for his outstanding craftsmanship.

    Hope you'll like it!

    Excellent playing. What is up with the unusual stringing on one of those guitars? It looks like some notes on the first two frets are unavailable on that guitar.

    Ok, that's an inlay. It looks confusing.

    Oh, I love how the inlay continues from the fingerboard up into the headstock!

    Mirabella has a definite flare for the aesthetics of the archtop jazz guitar. Beautiful work.
