I want to know the answer to the following question:
What year was the beginning of the transition from mandolino to mandolin?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The export market for mandolins from Italy dried up around 1815, and when Carmine de Laurentiis wrote a mandolin method in 1874, the Music World magazine wrote that the mandolin was "out of date."". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
