Hi jdsobol,
the left one of your MC´s is a "Stahl"-Mandocello, made by Larson. I also have one. Great sounding, you are right.

One of the coolest things I've heard in a while.
Hats off!
Cool mandocello video for sure. Two questions is that a Monteleone and do you think Mayor is in standard tuning?

Yes.Two questions is that a Monteleone?
The mandocello is made by Mike Vanden of Scotland. Simon Mayor surely plays it in fifth tuning.

Another Bach Cello Suite. This on a Kerman, played by Avi Avital. Oh my is this beautiful.
I believe that that Kerman instrument is a mandola (prob tuned GDAE), not a mandocello.

Is it? You know I wasn't sure. I was prejudiced by his playing a cello suite. You may be right.
Well hmmm, its seems kind of big for a mandola.
More info on this page where it says he is playing a mandola.
I was wrong. He says in this video (the followup to the one you posted, Jeff) that it is the same range as the viola. Kerman might just make them with a longer scale than, say, the std Gibson mandola scale.

Its been a while since I have looked on YT for mandocello videos -- there are a few so might as well bring this thread back. Here is a totally awesome new mandocello.

What the heck is going in on with Firefox or YouTube? I posted the same video twice -- but I copied the URL from a different mandocello video -- shouldn't happen.

Need to look into those a bit. I'm building an IV kit now just for the experience --especially carving a top and back. But that little mandolin kit they sell might make a nice grand daughter gift.

Another one so I thought I would bump this string. This is another use for the mandocello. But is this one tuned CGDA? Can't tell for sure...

Can't remember seeing this video before: a Metallica cover on bowlback mandocello played by Kzo Ishibashi.
