I also didn't know about the mandocello. I learn something new every day. The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?" I said, "Diddly." 64 bit Win 11 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

A close friend of mine who is a luthier just built an octave mandolin. It's not for sale. The mandolin he built about 30 or so years ago is the best mandolin I've ever played. I'd love to have an archtop octave mandolin. It gives you full bodied sound of a guitar while being easier to play than a mandolin since it isn't as small. Mandolins cramp my hands if I play more than 2 or 3 songs on one. Same thing with a fiddle. Bob ................................ http://soundcloud.com/bobcflatpicke/music-in-the-mountains

I have a couple of over 100 year old mandolins here. I will take a few pictures of them if you are interested in seeing them. One is a banjo mandolin and the other a round back mandolin. I also have a 100 year old banjolele. The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?"

eddie1261 Unregistered E	She is very talented. I'd kill to have a voice like that. Just not my bag. I like funk and groove as my personal preference. Thus the fascination with Victor Wooten. Love bass players that can thumb and slap and pop. When I was young my "perfect" band that I always said I wanted to be in was Average White Band, so there's where my music head is. Like bands that make my head bob and my feet tap.

eddie1261 Unregistered E	Daryl Hall, for years, played an instrument he called a Mandar, which was a 4 stringed instrument with octave doubler strings, and similar in concept to what you are discussing. His was lie a ukulele on steroids. With GE Smith playing every guitar solo and John Oates playing rhythm, he didn't have to really do much more than strum. And sing with THAT VOICE! Man what a voice he has. He's like 74 now and still out there singing. This last divorce apparently cost him big time and he has been touring A LOT to make money. I want to take a 12 string guitar and take off the doubling strings on the top 3 strings. Leave 4-5-6 because t hose are truly octaving strings, but those top 3 that are just doubling the same note can go. I bet that would sound great through a good quality chorusing pedal.
