The new Lehmann MandoCello is ready to take the stage. It has 4 double courses of strings that are tuned like a cello and is the tenor voice in the mandolin family. It has a carved arched top and back and a floating bridge that lend it a rich clarity and an enormous tone. This instrument is the third in a matching set of mandolin, mandola and mandocello that I have made on commission. Like the others, it is made of curly maple, Sitka spruce with rosewood bindings and an ebony fingerboard. Is the mandoBass next? Isn't there a mandolinetto too?
