- Home > Practice Tunes > Tune of the Week - 2008
Tune of the Week (TOW) was started in April 1999 as a way of choosing tunes to learn on the mandolin & discussing how to play them with other members of CoMando ListServe. TOW continued from 1999 until 2004, reviving once again in 2007.
Note: Tunes are available as tef files in MandoZine's TablEdit Archives, pdf documents, or abc text files. The tef link will take you to the TablEdit Archive Search Results page, where you can download the tef file by either clicking directly to open up the file in TablEdit or Right-click to download the file to your computer. See Related Links sidebar for information about using these files as well as links to previous years' TOW files.
Tune Discussions in CoMandoList Archives can be searched using one of these formats:
- Search for: "Tune name" (type/copy/paste the name in quotation marks) or
- Subject contains: TOW (add the number, without the leading 0; eg: TOW 2).
