Italian Red spruce top from Valcanale Balkan Flamed maple back sides and neck Spirit varnish sunburst Ebony bridge Rosewood fingerboard X braced with S holes Nugget Northfield OM tailpiece High Quality tuners with black buttons Bone Nut cm 4 1 9/16 inches Scale cm 64 25 1/4 inches This is the 3rd mandocello I made. I asked to my good friend Samuel Domeneghini to do the spirit varnish sunburst finish for me and he made a wonderful job. I had in the past several mandocello and this one is one of the most powerful balanced and with a great tone I ever played. I wanted to keep it for me but I know that I will play rarely that is better to sell to someone that will play as it deserve I don’t play Mandocello since many years and I played some improvised notes for hearing the sound. About me I’m a professional mandolin player, collector, composer and sound engineer I made the first F5 mandolin in 1992 and my second one in 2018 that are my personal mandolins. I owned the best mandolins on the planet: Monteleone, Gilchrist, Nugget, Heiden, Smart, Stanley, Brentrup, Gibson and a lot of others. I was Gilchrist exclusive dealer in Europe for 10 years and I saw an owned a lot of his instruments. I was always interested in building mandolins. My best friend when I was in the high school had taken a degree in the Cremona International Violin making School. I went to visit him every afternoon after high school and he teaches me how to curve violins and how to use French varnish. Before building my first mandolin I waited 10 years reading almost every day the bluegrass mandolin construction book by Roger Siminoff. When my daughter was born in 1990 (I was 33 old) it turned out to be the right time for building my first and only F5 mandolin. I needed 2 years to complete it. The result was excellent but I decided not to build anymore mandolins because I was too much involved and I didn't play enough mandolin! In 2018 my good friend Steve Gilchrist came to visit me in Italy. I had some mandolin parts since many years and I decide to build another mandolin before he came because I wanted Steve show me how to do sunburst stain. He helped me in making the Loar Cremona Sunburst and in May 2018 my second mandolin was ready. Since then I decided to build other mandolins and doing some changes in design. The Gilchrist that I love the most in term of sound are the ones he made in the early 80s with S holes X bracing like the one of Ronnie McCoury, Dominique Leslie, Tom Rozum, Mark Stoffel etc. So after building another couple of F style tone bars mandolins I began to use X bracing, Monteleone style S holes and an headstock similar to the Stelling 2 points made in the late 70's that I always liked. By far I have done 52 mandolins almost all sold in the States and 3 mandocellos Please feel free to write for any informations and additional photos euro 3500 On this mandolincafe thread there are some comments about my mandolins. https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/th...
