    Anyone know where there may be plans for a K-1 style mandocello? I may be working with a local luthier to create one. Any references to plans would be most welcome.

    You could try looking for L5 guitar plans-- I may be wrong, but I think it's the same body.

    BTW you can see Dave Harvey playing a K-1 and Tim May playing a K-4 in this YouTube video.

    Yes. This carved top shape may be in my budget.

    Here's one from the Mandolin Archives.

    Hey Phil, I could do a tracing of my K-1 and take whatever detail photos your luthier requests with a ruler layed on the cello. The top is sinking on mine so I can't provide you with accurate arching for the top. Let me know.

    Oops, I misread. Sorry about that.
