It’s been about three years since MAS grabbed ahold of me, but I’m getting the itch for something in the lower cello or octave range. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find much available without going to a custom builder. Being retired now, funds are limited. The only ones that seem to be in my price range are the Eastwood Warren Ellis mandocello or the Gold Tone mandocello, which doesn’t thrill me all that much. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the Eastwood products? They also have a nice looking tenor electric and their website says they have a new 5 string tenor becoming available soon. I don’t mind setting it up properly after purchase but hate to buy junk and pay to return it. I’ve done that before and it’s quite a disappointment. I found a thread from several years ago on the tenor electric but nothing on the mandocello. I would appreciate any information from someone with first hand knowledge of either the tenor electric or the mandocello. Though I rarely contribute, I’m a regular visitor and reader and respect the opinions of everyone here. Thanks.
