That said ... me neither.
But thanks for the chuckle. It's been a long tough day already - and it's not even 9:30 yet.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
Furthering Mandolin Consciousness
Finders Keepers, my duo with the astoundingly talented and versatile Patti Rothberg. Our EP is finally done, and available! PM me, while they last!
They specialize in conversion to electric mandolin family instruments. Check out quite a few here. Certainly a niche instruments. I do see one acoustic baritone uke conversion.

Sarcasm aside, where else are you finding a five-course electric "mandocello?" Back in my army days, I purchased a Univox Asian-made electric semi-hollow-body 12-string guitar at a music store near Ft. Riley KS. (Infected with Byrds flu, I guess.) I held on to it, for little reason, for a few years, then tried to trade it in on a decent acoustic at Stutzman's in Rochester. Eldon Stutzman grudgingly took it in trade, giving me perhaps 50% of the $139 I'd paid for it, and said, "I'm doing this as a favor to you, because I'll never sell it."
I was working for Eldon at the time (his store was open Saturdays only), and as I remember it later that same day a customer walked in and said he was a Greek bouzouki player who played in a local restaurant, and was looking for an electric instrument he could put in bouzouki-like tuning. Spotting the Univox sitting on a stand, he picked it up, fooled with it a bit, then bought it for maybe $125. I smiled at Eldon -- "never sell it, huh?" He said something to the effect that there's someone out there for every weird instrument.
So there's someone out there for that 10-string mandocello, bet on it.
