This is the first thread I clicked tonight. I don't quite hear you hit the notes, so much as feel the wave hit me. Playing with your eyes clothed helps you achieve this effect, no doubt. Will have to...

@NotMelloCello I tried googling a bit 12 string NST to try and get some advice on gauges and came up short, so I just used d'addario stringtensionpro website to approximate a light 12 string gauge to...

Ah dang. Very nice Explorer. Nice to see others being so bold with their tunings. That high B is taking it to the limit. :) I had considered unison tuning--- I read somewhere it's a fad in Mexico to...

Catchy tune. Nice chord progressions. I won't judge your instrument but I really like those harmonics and triplets. What I mean to say is you are fortunate to exist in a state of "smooth."

I've hesitated often about making this thread: above all else in this world, man should strive to be appropriate to his environment. We shouldn't dream of dragging scuba gear to the Sahara or playing...

Howdy folks. I've got a ten string guitar body mandocello that takes ball ends, and as I haven't come by any "sets" that fit the gauge, I've just been experimenting with all kinds of strings. Most...

Honestly a little bit of both, though I'm sure in this instance it's mostly the latter, as I'm just jamming drunk. :)

Is this the right plAce to share? Rather, builders and repairs? ANywho. I think this is somewhat appropriate. In here. Dammann makes some mando-things. Fifth tuned instruments all their own. Here's a...

Proof is in the pudding. Show me yours,

But what are e-mando strings? I couldn't tell, from their adver-details. Are they rebranded sets of major manufactures? This sounds like a dirty, undiscerning ad-read. Most likely I end up with those...

I've got an Eastman MDC805. I use the D'Addarrio exclusively (--- no Good reason, beyond they're the only set sold on Amazon. I've been eyeing some of the other offerings on JustStrings but haven't...

@NotMelloCello 12th fret 2.25mm on the c and 2mm on the a. Any lower and I find the volume suffers. Part of the fret buzz is me hitting the strings too hard to bring out volume. This is a flat-top...

I've been playing a lot of cello and trombone studies which liberally pepper staccato across the sheets, and naturally, because it seems so difficult to execute on mandocello, I've been caught in an...

*That being said the Petrucci Music Library has a few pieces featuring mandocello and a wealth of "normal cello."

I come from playing bass guitar and a little trick in that world is to play off trombone music. I picked up "Selected Studies for Trombone" by H. Voxman and all the studies are very playable, if...

It's a tough position to be in with no frame of reference in regards to the instrument: they don't keep mandocellos stocked at the local instrument shops. I can only judge the Eastman in regards to...

I've been playing a lot of "classical" pieces off cello music so it really intrigues me what methods other mandocello players use. Yeah, the scale length of the eastman is quite a stretch to be...

I've been activating my sweet tooths on those Bach that's worse than them bites...

I'd like to see the video of you playing, and not just the slideshow of imageries. Do you conform to the notated cello fingerings, or adopt those of your own?
