    Tell that to my girlfriend. We've lost an entire room in the house to string instruments and their accessories!

    I wonder if top bracing might be conducive to adding string courses (a la the kalitar, etc) - perhaps viable to reinforce bracing.. If those are heavier 'cello gauge strings, perhaps the weight could be lessened slightly to accommodate more courses--seems like a natural for building more tuners around the edges. Perhaps its timbre and/or resonant volume wouldn't be particularly responsive (?) Wouldn't expect a finely responsive unit, but ripe for experimentation...

    Ah here we go-

    It sounds like my Freshwater 24" SL on this vid, not bad - bit like I might have imagined
    that is a cool video--still not going to buy one

    As the owner of three mandocelli -- Gibson K-1, Eastman MDC-805, Waldo bowl-back -- I encourage everyone to acquire as many as there's room for.

    Please don't tell me you are saying "there is always room for cello".

    sorry I will go to my corner.
