crowdy crawn:- isn't that a dialect descendent of a cornish word rather than an actual cornish word? also mandolin, is this an imported instrument, weren't they used historically in the british isles? I dont know and i cant remember any specific references to them being used in cornish music (which i can for bagpipes, harps, bombardes etc.)
I've found a reference that 'cornwall embraced the mandolin' , I certainly know families that have a fair number of generations of players but I don't know where one would find 'source' documents,I presume this was because of cornwall being part of the mediterrenian trading area?
