Just finished my multi-scale mandocello.. Turned out pretty good, still some tuning to do, I think it needs a bit heavier strings... Oregon Myrtle, Sitka & Indian Rosewood.. scales are 24.75" & 26.25"..... Kerry .JPG) .JPG) .JPG) .JPG) .JPG) .JPG) __________________________________ http://klwstrings.blogspot.ca/ |

Way cool. Currently converting a Washburn electric into a mandocello. They are certainly NOT guitars, and I needed a new challenge. |

Very cool Kerry Werry! I would really like to try a multi scale anything sometime. I'd also like to try some Oregon Myrtle sometime. It comes in some very pretty forms. Where abouts in BC are you? Cheers, Danny |

Coquitlam area of BC.. Multi-scale was fun to build, but you certainly need to plan out the whole thing, I made a bunch of paper templates to see how it would all go together.. Kerry |

I should also say thank you to Padma who I asked for advice and he provided sage comments most of which I ignored but it was good to be warned about pitfalls along the way and nice that he responded (I emailed him directly).. Thanks Padma! Kerry |
