Sarah Jarosz Trio 'Land's End'

UPDATE: A new, LOUDER version of this clip is now posted in my channel. Why keep this one? Its higher resolution (1080). People with proper volume controls on their playback devices should have no problems.
Sarah Jarosz, Alex Hargreaves & Nat Smith perform an instrumental composed by West Virgina musician Tim O'Brien - Austin, TX April 2010. (Sarah, age 18, is the 'senior' member of the trio.)

It's a MAJOR BUMMER that the audio on this is too low!! Can u re-post?

@solealunaduir After 2,750 views, this is the first time anyone's said something about the audio level. Admittedly it is lower than unual, but that's what volume controls are for. In any case, I've uploaded a new version (1280x720p) with an improved soundtrack at CBtGvSXILqE.

What is she playing? A mandotar?? A guitolin??? Seriously, that appears to be some sort of crazy giant mandolin...

[lordchauncey]

@jiclark The instrument is called an Octave Mandolin. It's strung like a standard mando (4 pairs of strings) but is tuned an octave lower, and has a larger body - but smaller than a standard arch-top guitar.

@CRAXYFINGERS76 Mandocello is actually a little bit lower in range than the octave mandolin (search mandocello on here and you'll see what I mean). But in a way, the distinction is kind of moot, they have such a similar range and timbre.

I've also heard them called a Mandocello. Just love the sound.
