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.

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.
