When sitting the left foot should rest upon a footstool to elevate the knee. When standing hold the instrument firmly to the right side, and keep the ‘ left arm fyee from the body. ‘The fingers of the left hand should be arched, the very tips only touching the strings, and by pressing them firmly between the frets a clear and ringing note will be produced. How to use the Plectrum. ‘The proper use of the Plectrum ensures the prineipal charm of Mandoline playing It must be held firmly between the thumb and first finger, the forearm resting . about half way between the bridze and the hole; the hand must be arched to keep: the Plectrum perpendicularly over the strings: keeping the wrist quite loose and freo gives the executant great power over the proper use of the Plectrim. For soft playing the strings should be struck near the fingerboard, and for loud playing near the bridge The Plectrum.
