I know that quite a few of you have been wondering what Jonathan’s 10-string mandocello sounded like. Well, with many thanks to Jonathan, here he is with ‘cello. The video was recorded on an iPad and the tune is "Hare's Maggot" (trad.) from Playford's English Dancing Master of 1612. The 'cello seems ideally suited to the tune and Jonathan's playing. You’ll also note that there is one of the pin-point capos at the second fret on the bottom course, giving an open D. You'll find out more about the instrument on my websiteCheers Gary

Wow! That's a beast! What a lovely growl it's got when strummed too
