Help build the Mandolin Glossary

Event Details

The folks over at Mandolin Cafe are working on an interesting project, and can use your help.

For a while now they have been compiling a Mandolin Glossary, an alphabetical listing of terms and personalities with importance in the mando world. Visitors to the glossary can search by a specific word or phrase, or view all terms by the first letter. Given the fact that the mandolin has played a role in the music of so many different cultures – with different languages – this glossary could become a very valuable resource as it grows and matures.

Contributions to the glossary are being solicited, with instructions for doing so up on Mandolin Cafe. They are considering adding images to the glossary display, and ask that people who may have some to share contact them as well.
