JazzMando What's New - A lovely Yuletide demo of his new Jonathon Mann electric octave mandolin posted on YouTube, actor/musician Michael Johnstone treats us to a clever rendition of the seasonal classic, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Multi-instrumentalist Michael has been mentioned on the site in the past for his role in the critically acclaimed HBO Series "Deadwood," and the rave reviews of his Rigel Gypsy Q.

The electric octave mandolin is tuned an octave below the traditional mandolin, pitched between a mandocello and a mandola.

Enjoy: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas


Nice playing and we're quite impressed by the arrangement.
