@rbloch66 Thanks for listening and the kind words! I'm just a self-taught picker. Yes you are correct a lot of buzz -- this was couple of years ago. What was happening and what I had not yet noticed was that the original ebony bridge saddle was bending -- lowering the G and D courses. I eventually broke. Abouty 60 lbs (down vector) on a mandocello bridge. Been fixed. Thanks for the GREAT Mike Marshall video -- looks like a John D'Angelico mandocello!
Your playing is very good , I'd just move the right hand a little to the fretboard so you can get a mellower tone...beautiful instrument , congrats !!
Thanks for visiting my channel and also for your kind remarks.
Your suggestion is well taken and a great idea. I'm still in my infancy with the m'cello and I need to spend a lot more time developing my technique.
I have recently started playing the tenor banjo and tenor guitar and these two insturments will help me break out of my mandolin and mandola "habits".
Yeah the mandocello is a very cool axe and great fun for a mandolin player.
It is surprisingly a different beast to play as you definately find your left hand doing different patterns -- your little finger has ot get in to the act whether it wants to or not .
I was checking out your profile page and noticed several videos that are playable without exiting the page. For example, "Brown County Breakdown" by PickerDan; how did you do that?
Haven't a clue -- all I did I think is "favorite it" I've wondered about that myself -- YouTube has a lot of software dark allies that you can wander into with no warning!
Thanks for the comment. Its not my cleanest playing ever. The mandocello has been in a case with a humidifier all winter and I just got it out again yesterday -- but I'm very "rusty" obviously.
Hey man, thanks for subscribing to my videos and for the great comments! Very nice playing on the mandocello. I played one just like this one once at Gruhn's in Nashville. Awesome sound! Keep pickin'.
nicely done. you have some serious fret buzz, I'd recommend having a technician look at your mando.

Hey you've got some great videos to watch!
Thanks for the nice remark. I will try to back to being able to move around on mandocello a little better.
I had the instrument in its case with a humidifier all winter because the sound board is is very sensitive to dry weather conditions.

That was great! Love that instrument! Looks like a cross between guitar and mandolin.....Nice tune! 5*
