"mandol" in my search engine yields mostly drug related hits - any available, on-line photos of the instrument named "mandol"? - sounds
interesting.
hi william sparks - it's been a long time since i've heard from you.

Azul Will,
Why not ask a professional mandol player, like my friend Moh Alileche: http://www.flagoffreedom.com/ ? You can hear samples of (and purchase!) his 3 CDs at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/102-7165089-6085711?url=search...
Ar Tufat,

You can find cd of Dahmane El Harrachi on Amazone.
But you have to write 'HARRACHI' with 2 'R' and a 'C'.
Only a few on Amazone US. And more on Amazone France.
The famous original 'Ya Rayah' is on 'Le Chaabi : vol 1'

Thank gus. I just got my mandol, and Bill, nice to hear from you as well. I found out that mandol, or mondol, is strictly found in Algeria. There are
only two makers of fine quality mandols in Algeria. My friend got mine from a local music shop. According to my friend, D A D G C is one of a few
tunings used. Right now, I use Egyptian five course tuning E A D G C. Pics and sound clip will be up soon.
