The mandolin is the reiguing fash ionable caprice, having quito superseded the banjo in the esteem of the indies. That it should havo done so is by no means strange, for it is really a charm ing little instrument when at all de cently played, is not very difficult to learn, audhas a good deal more style and tinish about it than the baujo has. However tho latter may bo adorned with nickel-plating mother-of-pearl, aud all sorts of gaudy ornamentation, it has a plebeian look about it ami sug gests tho idea of a lield-hand in his Sunday suit. Tho only unpleasant feature about it to the learner is tho knife-blaile-like sharpness of ita tine wiro strings. There are eight strings, in pairs, all of stcei wire. Two pairs are wound with Gor man siivor, and arc not so cruel as the others, but unwound four, hardly thicker than horse haire, seem to cut to tho bone the unger ends that press them down upon tho frets. Of course that pain and trouble ends when each linger of the left hand is tipped with a bony, callous spot, and one must expect some such trouble in forming a close acquaintance with any stringed instru ment. When naturo has provided that protectiou, tho mandolin playor, if an expert, can produce somo very pleasing effects by producing the tones by per cussion on tho strings over the frets, instead of by strumming with a bit ol tortoise shell held between the thumb and forefinger of thc right baud, wuich is the ordinary way ot playing. Tho Spanish mandola "is much like tho Italian mandolin in its gen eral features, but hus important differences from it nevertheless. lt.?. body is shallower, shaped more like thc bowi of a spoon than tho half of an eg>< divided lengthwise, which is tho form of the instrument beloved in Naples and Homo; its strings are of catgut in stead of steel, and it.s tone is not so sharp and incisive. Either mandola 01 mandolin, however, has u surprising volume of sound for so small a body, and dominates pleasingly tho tones o: n guitar, or even those of a piano. Expert players havo a way of main taining an increasing tremolando bj keeping thc little instrument ia a con stantly quivering motion while they an executing a solo, that at least looks tv if it would be rather bard to effect anc harder yet to continue for any length o iimc, but thc lengthening of vibration! thus achieved prettily supplies the lac! of a supporting instrument Tho powei of controlling tho volume of sound in : crescendo or diminuendo possessed by i skillful performer is really surprising and extremely effectivo in rendition o the peculiar passionate and sensuou music to which tho mandolin is bos adapted. VS bile thc mandolin is easy to learn up to a certain point, it is, like al seemingly simple instruments, vcr difficult to develop to its highest artisti. capabilities, and tho italian who ha achieved conqu?te mastery ot it no only very justly respects hiniselt highly but is even respected in au extraordin?r degree by li is corni try men. The I ?es players are said to come from Naple? where a native who does not at lose think that he can play upon tho man dolin is a curiosity. Herc in New Yoi! wo have not many who deservedly ran high as exports. Prof. Dominico Tip alni is regarded as a very correct an arlistio performer, but in expression an. delicacy of tone shading Signor F. A Errico, who is proprietor of an Italia: art and curiosity store in John street and only an amateur mandolinist, i deemed by cities tho most flnlstio artist here. Hut inferior players tin as much employment as they want i teaching the mandolin to tho youl) men and women of Gotham's "tippo ton," and from present indications th instrument Will be the rage when fasl ion returns to tho town with the ear! frosts. A good mandolin costs from $?5 t f?'j. and all procurable here are in poi ted fruin Naples. - -V. Y. Sun.
