I have recently found a nice compilation of historical recordings with banjo, mandolin and other instruments. Most of those recordings are available in other sources like i archive.org<\/a> or the Antique Phonograph Music Program http:\/\/wfmu.org\/playlists\/AP<\/a><\/p>\n

But it is much more easy to listen to those recordings on the following page:<\/p>\n

In the transitions of the turn of the century some musical instruments made attempts to create an orchestral distribution of their tones in imitation of string ensembles. Other musical fads involved exotic sounds and instrumentation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe the greatest historical video is the following movie with Bernardo de Pace:<\/p>\n
