I remember when I was a kid watching this video and I wanted a mandocello and couldn't afford it. 9 years later I still want one and can't afford it.
maybe consider an otave mandoline or irish bouzouki with a little downtuning should come near this? consider it too
Get a secondhand guitar, chances are you'll go far... if you get an archtop, a drill, 2 extra tuners, and part of a set of 12-string guitar strings. :D (Sorry Randy Bachman)
Then you don’t want it enough.
@@jjmuni Geez you have no idea of his situation Atma to come up with such a flippant comment. How old are you?
@@lindamorgan2678 i think he's just trying to motivate him.
Some people learned how to tell jokes, this guy learned how to play the mandocello.
There's a lot of talk here about the beautiful sound of the mandocello, but honestly this guy could make a tomato can sound good.
Tony Lombardo fact
true
good, because he has the humor of a tomato can
Tony Lombardo u
Tony Lombardo still a fact but I do love the mandocello
WOW! problably the best cello no 1 suite interpretation with pick you'll find... other players usually play all the right notes one after another in a hurry but can't express all the feelings of each parts like Mike did here. he truly understand that piece of music. tks!
So well said. Absolutely spot on!
this guy is telling the truth, i wish people still just got together after eating or work and just played there instruments, i want either one of these or an octave mandolin, I LOVE FOLK INSTRUMENTS!
Bach's Cello Suite Prelude is beautifully played here. Mike really gets the best out of this wonderful instrument.
I agree, it did sound good. I still prefer it on the cello though. I like it when plays this style at 5:30 on the mandocello
My thanks to Mike Marshall, this video converted me to the mandocello. Struggled with a Suzuki for several years, but finally my dream has come true. I possess a Weber Gallatin F scroll mandocello. In fact the last of its kind as Weber are not making the Gallatin anymore. Thanks again Mike!
It's a rare and beautiful thing you are into my friend and you conjure a fine sound out of that Weber!
Thank ya thank ya.
I too got into playing the mandocello because of this video. I have a Freshwater that I refined over the yeears to be just fine for me.
The comment about people having BlackBerry’s really dated this video. I love it! 😂
As soon as he said it I had to scroll down and look at the publish date
Reading your comment, i instantly felt 10 years older in 1 seconds. I heard him say it, but paid no attention to it, as if it still was a normal thing.
oh yeah the prehistoric times when blackberry's roamed the earth! lol
Hey, I stopped using a blackberry in 2021...cause my Priv broke lol
@@phlubblebubblethank you for bringing me back to this video that I had completely forgotten about 😂
There’s something about the twangy resonance of this instrument makes it appealing in a way that sets it apart and beyond the cello
I've been a Marshall fan since he was a teen, and he's STILL a monster picker! Dude can play just about anything with strings.
Also, I've wanted a mandocello since the first time I heard one.
I have a Soares'y Mandocello in the Gainesville Florida craigslist , but after hearing how Mike plays his Mandocello, I am having second thoughts about letting it go, Mike, you take the life of the strings to a new level with your playing, fantastic,
I've played both guitar and cello now for around 14 years and until now didn't know about the MANDOCELLO. what an amazing instrument.
This is literally the best instrument
This guy should make an album with this thing. I'd buy it.
This video makes me love this instrument, and I enjoy his performance of the Bach G major cello Prelude even more than the way most cellists play it!
I’m a guitar player but am always looking for new stringed instruments. This is a gorgeous instrument and I personally am getting into more classical styles of music, would love to purchase one of these and learn some Beethoven or Bach
Dinosaurs and Blackberrys... The Mandocello lives on. This is very insightfull on many levels. He is so good! I love it!
His hands are so big I caught myself counting his fingers to make sure there were only five of them.
Can you imagine him being an absolut master on the the narrow fretted mandolin?! Check him out alone or in Duett or even with the other „mad“ genius Chris Thile!
This is the best video on RUclips.
I still think this is the best video on RUclips
quelin1 damn dedication
@@quelin1 I wholeheartedly agree, I just can not stop myself from coming back to it ;-)
I'm coming back 3 years later to agree
@@joshuaft1 ditto
After nearly 20 years of watching this video and wishing to one day get my hands on this powerhouse of an instrument, just ordered my first and am dying to meet it!
I know it has been forever since this was posted but since I just came across it.... WOW! Mike you have made a Mandocello believer out of me. Very cool instrument and very cool playing. Thank you for the humor as well.
I don't get tired of watching this video.
What a musician! :-)
I'm gonna go play my mandocello now.
I did a Mandocello WShop with Mike and tried a number of these instruments. They are very challenging to play. Mike makes it look way to easy. He has very strong, giant hands and is probably one of the best players in the world.
it is tuned CGDA, same as a mandola, tenor banjo, tenor guitar, viola, and cello. the octave mandolin is tuned GDAE, a fifth higher, and is the same tuning as a mandolin or violin.
efrazable So mandocello can also be referred as octave mandola
Yeah, but you can string a mandocello gdae and play it like an octave mandolin, too
efrazable If you can play mandola then you will be able to play mandocello but the sound will be one octave lower. And if you play tenor guitar or tenor banjo then the notes are the same pitch as mandola does.
Fascinating & beautiful. Never have heard of the Mandocello. Am I the only one noticing the massive hands on this guy?!!
He's a blast to play with, take seminars from, and watch live. If you get the chance, take it!
I LOVE this instrument.
Masterfully played and of great interest due to the unusual nature of the mandocello, I've been playing guitar for 40 years, but never heard of this instrument. I like the low, musky tone. Thanks for posting.
Wow! I'd love to play one of these, plugged in! I'm tuning my electric guitar in 5ths, so a Mandocello w/out the doublet strings (like the Mandobass that Gibson made in the early 20th C.). Watching this fine musician, I can see I still have a great deal to learn!
This is a (John) Montelone mandocello that is from a set of instruments he made for the Modern Mandolin Quartet and that Mike eventually purchased for himself. I believe he does own an Anderson as well!
I bought a mandocello a few years back, determined to learn how to play it. I just got around to unpacking it at our new house, and once I laid eyes on it again, the desire to learn was still there. I just love the sound and the look. Sadly, I doubt I'll ever possess the needed time or the talent to be able to coax such amazing sounds out of it as Mike does.
I already love the mandolin and have been interested in the cello as well.. obvious connection!
Love Mike Marshall. What a brilliant musician. I really want to attend a workshop of his. His "Brazil Duets" album is pretty wonderful.
What the hell does he start playing at 5:30? What kind of awesome devil's sorcery???? I need to learn this on cello...
The Gator Strut
Idk but whatever it is it's making me want a Mandocello. I wonder if it's any easier than normal cello... or guitar, for that matter. Bass guitar is fairly easy to me so it's probably not that bad
@@SunnyD420 pretty fun instrument
@@joshuaft1 Did you by one since your post? I heard they're expensive and rare
@@SunnyD420 very late reply but I just happened to see your question as I was coming back to this video. I think I was saying bass guitar is fun. Sadly I don't have a mandocello... Yet ;)
We make mando cello conversions. made for old kay guitars. They can be tuned a lot of different ways, including mando cello tuning or a baritone uke, or a tenor guitar. They are reasonable price wise and sound great.
Baxendale Guitar in Athens Ga.
Very entertaining and musically enticing. I'd love to get my hands on one of these instruments.
Mike makes everything he touches sound good
Mike, thank you. That was a beautiful rendition, I loved it and you play so very well. I'm glad you kept up with it, I know it can be a pain, but thanks again. I'll look around for your stuff. Good luck.
Wonderful video! Saw/heard Mike Marshall and Chris Thile at Wintergrass a couple of years ago - I'm still looking for the jaw I dropped after the concert. As a bass player, it's a tad bit disheartening to hear Mike play better bass lines on the mandocello than I can muster on my own bass! A monster musician with a good sense of humor and a talent for teaching us mortals.
Wagmore Barkless its all in 5ths thas why and the bass is in 4ths cgda is a great tunning for jazz and blues you can tune your bass in 5ths if you really want just look it up online
likewise. disheartened bass player here as well. :-)
Wagmore Barkless him and Thile would literally make my head explode
This would be awsome for practicing my cello anywhere. Love the Bach btw
He looks like Gene Ween
Viko I love you man. Even if you don’t. 😜
I was thinking the same thing.
I put my harmonica in the micro with a violin. it came out a harmolin..The thing is great.
Fantastic! Thanks for the tune!
I just made one using a 12 string 335 kit.
It would be nice if people went back to the music parlor days and played after dinner. People seem to have lost themselves without the simpler things in life. Music is about as raw as it gets. Thumbs up Marshall.
@daddariostrings After looking and researching for months, the least expensive mandocello I found (that was an actual mandocello and not a converted tenor guit.) was the Weber Tamarack that weighed in @$1800. Gibsons started well into the $2500 range. This was several years ago, unfortunately, Weber seems to have discontinued making the tamarack in mandocello. They do however make mandocellos in other models that are quite nice!
One of the very best… inspiring. Thanks, Mike!
Great vid! I just got myself a sweet Weber Octo Mandolin and Mandocello of some kind is next on the list. I love the deep dark tone.
GREAT...God bless you for this gift...i loved all the talk play ...
Talkin mad shit about cellos boy
Cheap Trick's, Rick Nielsen, wrote a song called Mandocello, which features the instruments. It is a very haunting and beautiful song
A very deep sound from the thing, muchly different to a standard mandolin, very nice!
Mandolin first, then I will save up for a mandocello!
Excellent video, lovely playing!
what is the scale length of this instrument?
+eastwood guitars It depends on the maker but more commonly you'll find - 24.75 inches or 25 inches
Nice researching there Eastwood ;)
The funny part is that I came here after looking at the Eastwood Warren Ellis Mandocello in order to get an idea of what one could do on one.
I've heard 24"; the 25" is the scale length for guitar bodied mandocellos and they don't sound the same, this sounds tight and centered as opposed to floppy and loose, of course the strings have to be higher gauge
At 5:33 he's playing the intro to his composition Gator Strut from the album of the same name.
RibakTB makes some excellent points. Mandocello string construction and gauges and are significantly heavier than bouzouki strings and their lightly-built bodies usually cannot withstand the string tension. There is also the matter of the proper (increased) scale length and the fact that the tuner posts are likely not able to accept the large low C strings.
I love this instrument. Wonderful.
I just saw my first one this weekend. Want to see someone play it
I wonder how many people got into the instrument and started playing it because of this very video. I know I'm one of them.
This is amazing. Very insightful, and very interesting. I love this instrument.
the first 40 seconds of this were hilarious.
the bach sounds beautiful on it
Sweet! And Mike's Bach sounds great!!!
You are awesome Mike - Just love ya!
I think I was born with that instrument in my ears... So rich !
I believe that the beautiful and dark piece is and excellent rendition of "Wayfaring Stranger." (As he says at the very end) but it is also nearly "Summertime".
This video inspired me to order a mandocello. It'll be here next week, WOOOOO!
Wow!! and THANK YOU Mike Marshall. After your wonderful demonstration, I think I may be able to make some music on one of those!! Almost a tutorial, just great!! Loved it.
You get a thumbs-up just for the origin story of that beast. Never mind the lovely playing.
@Barfopotamus The strings are double coursed (have the same tuning). It gives it a richer sound.
Im a fan of the sound these instruments produce, but also a fan of whatever string instrument to be strummend or plucked or picked or... I would like to get one of your mandolin- microwave and a small piece of the binding. thatwould be nice. great video, thanks
Beyond sweet...I agree with the other poster...I bet this guy could make me want to try to learn to play anything. He definately sold me on a mando-lo.
Fantastic. Just got my first.
@Barfopotamus the strings are tuned to the same note, but an octave apart I think. Probably just a matter of having a beautiful, full sounding instrument.
Mike Marshall and Darol Anger... The greatest Duet.....EVER!!!!
Love this
I think Mike can make a rusty tin can, a stick and a tarnished wire sound amazing.
Beautiful. You make it sing. I have a Gibson K2 Mcello. Love it. Had a luther build a copy of it , the action is better, but it doesn't have that Gibson sound
WOO! MONTANA!
This is the style of mandocello that I want.
Sorry you answered my question already, before I watched the full vid, great playing by the way
@Barfopotamus
i believe the original intent was to create a louder sound. certain bi-products of this such as the chorus effect (that is two pitches that are just almost tuned the same and create that certain flavor that double coursed instruments have. its the same principle that make almost every choir sound good when they are singing together.)
What a great sound!
My Dream Instrument is a Weber Black Ice Mandocello !
Nancy Rose Black have u find any affordable mandocello out there?
Shuy Hdz Not yet...
Nancy Rose Black well, the sound may be worth the price
Shuy Hdz indeed
Hey Mike,
I'm getting ready to build a couple electric mandochellos. Can you tell me what gauge string you are using?
Thanks, Doug
You made me smile man, thanks a lot.
yesssss! you rule! such great tone!
good sense of humor
Never heard of this guy before 5 minutes ago. I like him. He is funny and passionate and he plays damn fine mandocello. In 1970 is was asked by Joel Lish, conductor of the L.A. Mandolin Orchestra, to play mandobass in the orchestra. Problem was, I couldn't read and I couldn't afford a kazoo, much less a mandocello.
Pleasant explanation.
" ...And four note chords kind of take over the world" This guy gets it.
Aah! This is what Jacob just got!
This must be music from the heavens, or the most amazing musician!
Yeah OK I GOTTA have one (at least)!
Country people played on the front porch when I was a kid
An Anderson like Mike has here is jigh end.
Ovation makes one (not that anyone would want an Ovation anything) but they are cheap and make adequate student models.
Check out Eastman; they are a company based in Frederick Maryland which has instruments built in China. They are low to middle priced for mandocello's. The quality control is good and the bang for the buck is substantial.
Instrument sounds amazing.
I've seen Mike play this thing in performance. Very cool show
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
