The recording is a little poppy and scratchy but what do you expect from something over 80 years old? Ragtime mandolin, what a concept.

Absolute KILLER Mandolin recording here. If you think the mandolin is good for nothing except slow weepy music, then get a hold of this record and watch the music unfold! Quite impressive!
