I thought that you might like to see some photos of a 10 string mandocello that has just gone out. An interesting feature is the pin-point capos: the client asked for these as he wants to play in a variety of open tunings. There is some detail on my blog about the capos.

I’ve include a photo of the ‘cello with me, just to get an idea of its size! And before you ask where the video is, I felt that I was unable to do the ‘cello justice, but Jonathan (it’s owner) has promised one, once he has got to grips with it; as you’ll see, it’s a magnificent beast!

There are a few more details and full spec on my website.

mandocello

I love 10-string 'cellos - I had a Moon one for a while. What scale length did you use?
