Biography

Toomas Rannu

I start with this description of myself. I'm not a very fast writer of this, not only in English but also in other languages including my own native one. Also I hope to be able to correct and supplement it later. I therefore apologize to you and all those who find a different description when they reopen this page. I find it easier to answer the questions of someone, than to sum up my life and musical activities in a few sentences, to point out what has influenced it or what is important. So I imagine you, opening this page, see me and ask me something you like to know, as it just comes to mind. Therefore, the following description may be somewhat chaotic.

At this point I'm reading all this long story that I have written so far and I find I have not said anything about myself yet... Or am I? 

I was born in 1965 in Rakvere, Estonia. I studied violin in the seventies for seven years, played guitar since '80s (hard-rock, jazz, classical). At present I'm mixing all my experiences mostly on mandolin and this results in many arrangements for this instrument.
