Re: Mandocello Measurements
Here's what I get off my '20's vintage K-1:

length of body 18.25 inches
width of body at widest point 14.25 inches
body depth 3.25 inches
height of carved arches hard to tell on mine, since the top's flattened a bit; maybe 1/3 inch
scale length 24.75 inches
inside width of the C,G,D and A courses (how far apart double strings are from each other) 3/16 inch
space between the C-G course 7/16 inch
space between the G-D course 7/16 inch
space between the D-A course 3/8 inch
height of bridge 1.0 inch
neck angle Can't help you there...
So this is what's on my "ham sandwich," and I leave it to others to advise you to construct a "tuna salad on rye" instead.... My C strings are quite adequate in terms of volume and resonance, but YMMV.
