    I resemble that remark.

    I always preferred "viola player". What do you call the guy playing 10-string, "Tennist"?

    I prefer "mandola player" (and "viola player" as well)

    I would say mandolist is correct, if you need such a term. And mandocellist or mandobassist would be proper as well. What else do you need to know?
