      What a feat to play ANYTHING on the mandocello in Eb!

      Ah, he's just playing that so the bass notes can really kick on that Monteleone.

      The sustaining power of the low strings highlights the contrapuntal nature of the work: as the higher notes move around melodically, there is a clearly defined line in the bass. Amazing to do this with a pick! Sensitive artistry, not just "showing Bach can be played on the mandocello." Thank you Maestro Marshall for letting the world know about this wonderful instrument.
      And I love the hat.
