STRING THING MUSIC
Mandolin Instruction-- Materials and Transcriptions by Debora Chen
 Bach Sheet Music-- Arranged for Mandolin in Tab and Notation
"Study Bach.  There you will find everything"-- Brahms

String Thing Music is pleased to provide mandolin arrangements of selected movements from J.S. Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello.  They have been arranged in mandolin appropriate keys. Because Bach composed them as cello works, the technical demands are mild when played on the mandolin,  and the selected movements are intended to make Bach's music more accessible to tab readers.
