Mandocello with matching mandobass

[pklima]

Thought I'd poke my head in again... Found this interesting English mandocello and mandobass set:

Note the asymmetrical tuners on the bass and the dash-dot-dash side soundholes. Wonder how functional these instruments really are.

Bizarre!

Formidable!

It's English

They have the mandolute body shape when viewed from the side but all in all they are still a little weird and the current owner is quite proud of 'em as reflected in his price! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

The price is not so bad considering there are two instruments by a known maker. I find it strange, tho, that with all the photos he supplies there are none showing the full back view of either instrument.
