    Re: Gilchrist 5C "Classical" mandolin?

    Evan Marshall plays one that I've seen up close. Evan says it was designed for lighter strings, which facilitates his duo-style playing.

    Re: Post a photo of your flat-top mandolin!

    Here's mine from Chris Baird (Arches Mandolin). This is early Arches, and was impressive enough that I got him to build me an F-4 also.

    Re: Mandocello - kind of a cunundrum huh?

    I'd ask Phil Crump, http://www.pwcrumpco.com/zouk.html, if he can make one of his bouzoukis into a mandocello. Incredible quality, and listen to the sound samples if you want to hear some boom.
