NFI - This Gernandt mandocello sounds so nice. And the quilted back and sides really make it eye catching.

What an incredible sound!!!
I never fail at anything, I just succeed at doing things that never work....
Fylde Touchstone Walnut Mandolin.
Gibson Alrite Model D.
Has anyone played his mandocello (or any of his other mandolins) in person? Here's the web site. I never heard of this maker.

That's some pretty serious bass response there - sounds amazing!
Fine sounding and looking instrument.

WOW!!!
That is a stunning instrument.
It has amazing consistency in the tone going up the neck.
The notes on the upper frets blend perfectly in all ways with the low bass notes.
It is visually amazing too.
Love the wood.
I would love to play an F5 by this maker.
I think Mike Marshall's mandocello has a superior very low bass response, but this one is amazing non the less.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946

Nice sustain, bass response, appears to have good volume. I like his choice of using mostly wood; really nice examples of each species.
That is an amazing sound and a beautiful instrument. Just seeing the video I want to stop everything else and start working on building (birthing) an instrument such as this. It appears that the strings are flat wound. Anyone have any experience in using these? And, would someone like to venture a guess as to the scale length. ---Gary

What a beauty! Sounds great. I'd take it. I prefer a deeper, more "throaty" sound from a mandocello, but heck, that's a sweet one!
