Done ! At last...
Last thing to do (the most difficult, perhaps) : learn to play the OM !!

Re: The 'Randy Cordle conversion'
Congratulations! That was an amazing journey -- thanks for sharing. That is a great looking instrument. Sure be interested in how it sounds. To me the nut looks wider than you planned? But maybe it is just the perspective in the photo?

Re: The 'Randy Cordle conversion'
The nut is 36mm wide... (but on the photo, the body widness=the head lenght so...)...
As soon as I succeed in playing a tune, I will share a video (or I'll ask a good player to play it...).

Re: The 'Randy Cordle conversion'
This is my first attempt, with a very tiny amp...
Sorry about the sound, and the playing, I'm only a beginner !

Re: The 'Randy Cordle conversion'
Sounds great to me -- it is particularly clean with no buzz which is always bothersome on a mandocello. I like it and nothing wrong with your playing either. What is that tune -- I should know it but I don't.

I thought the tune was Islay Rant, but it wasn't ! In fact, it's Spootiskerry, a Shetland 's reel I learnt from Nigel Gatherer website.

And here's the "Clockwork Orange 3" OM on stage ! (Sorry, no sound : too much wind to have a decent recording).
