Multiverse Mando Pads

1800's mandolin bowed and transformed into a pad.

The story

I recorded an antique Mandolin from the late 1800’s . It was a wedding gift from my wife. It is a little temperamental, playing wise but I still figure out how to make use of it.

I used a bow on it for some stuff, and long notes that I lost the attack and also reversed. I used a vintage Electro Harmonix Memory Man for some fluttering vibrato and echo. It has an organ like quality that I like. You never know where these old instruments can go!
