Very strange video. Sounds like it's tuned much higher than a mandocello, I think in mandola range, and the lowest course looks like the two strings get closer to each other as they approach the...

So good!

Here’s what I use:

For a 23” scale, D’Addario EJ80
For a 21” Scale, D’Addario EJ72

If you need ball end, you can buy them as bulk singles from JustStrings.

That 40 for your D seems extremely heavy. I personally wound be worried about that much tension, both for the string and the instrument. I love to use this tension calculator and aim between 20 and...

That E string at 12 seems really light. A 15 would be more appropriately tensioned compared to a 52. I recommend using the gauges for mandola strings which should get you into the ballpark assuming...

I use MuseScore for all the tunes on my website MandoLessons, I love it!

And it’s gone...

Hi All! Due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, many of our dear friends have had shows, tours, and project cancelled. This is a huge hit to those who depend on this work for a living. To this end,...

I totally agree, they are meant to be played. It also makes sense to know what it is worth so the player can decide for themselves and have a sense of its value and importance, which can help with...
