Pagan Man

I was fortunate enough to get a visit from Peter Jenner of Blackheath, Australia last week, who's been traveling around the US visiting some luthiers and other mandolin people, on his way to a choir performance in Cuba and then the completion of his world tour. He brought with him the first mandolin he built (under the name "Pagan"), and was kind enough to let me use it for a rehearsal and a show. He also left it lying around here long enough that I was able to make a studio recording of it. Here's some video of those events:

Bach Cello Suite #1 Prelude:

If you're looking for tab for the Bach, I found it at this link:

But there are lots of other versions out there.
