I bought one in the summer, all ok but something didn't feel 'right'....so just made it into an octave with strings-052/ 038/ 026/014 as a four string...adjusted intonation, action fine....and now it...
Not sure I've ever come across an Alembic emando, but Stars Guitars (ex-Alembic employees) did make some mandolins.

I thought I'd try and get my 2¢ in before this thread get shut down. First, Jim, it seems painfully obvious that it's a free market and anyone can advertise in the classifieds what, how, and when...
I've owned an Eastman MDC-805 mandocello for six years or so; opened the case in March and found the tailpiece had snapped at the hinge. Took it back to the dealer (Stutzman's) to get a replacement,...
Let's see:
Fonder, C. F. Mertin, Paul Weed Smeth, D'Ungelico, D'Oquisto, Tukamine, Epiphony, Eastwoman, and so on...
I think Steve Ryder's Florentine 8-string would fit your needs. I own the 5-string, and he makes fine instruments with excellent pickups.

As of Monday, my electric kit may just be complete. My much-modified mandocaster, with Almuse pick-ups and wiring, Moongazer bridge and new Jin Ho tuning machines, will be joined by a new Roland Cube...
The Revelations have a neat approach.....for each pair of strings, one goes through a hole in the back of the bridge and one goes through the body! .....fully adjustable bridge saddles and less than...
No doubt!

My friend TJ of Cricket Fiddle is building a 10 string mandocello for me! Exciting. Here are some pics so far:

I'm not surprised production is limited to 36. What does surprise me is that they think they might sell that many.
Here are a few shots of #14 just finished and shipped to the client. He's working on some sound clips for me. A big thanks to my wife for the photos.
Here is a much better (sound quality) video of Josh Woods of Indianapolis playing Salt Creek on the concrete mandolin. I wish I could play like this!

If you're dying for a Moon Beam, one of the world's most hyped mandolin brands, here's one at a San Diego pawn shop for $700:

Thanks for listening, Rico. My son provided camera and was grumpy about having a mic in the visual frame, so the sound is not nearly close-enough miked and the room is very live, a bad combo. But the...
Listening back to the recording I uploaded yesterday with a day's distance, I decided that the first mandolin part could be improved. I've re-recorded it today, using a different mandolin (my...
A few shots I took this morning...
I just shipped this mandocello today, 5 courses, CGDAE. Sitka top, ribbon mahogany back and sides, ebony fingerboard and adjustable bridge.
Yes I cross posted this over in the tenor section, I but figured members that follow Pete's work probably monitor this section more. Once Pete casts the pickups it should be complete. Love getting...
nearly there
