@cipospalmares Hi, 'cipospalmares'. :-)
A "Sobell Cittern" is a 10-string instrument with the same body size and the same scale length as an 8-string "Sobell Octave Mandolin".
What Andy plays in this clip is an 8-string instrument that Stefan calls a "long-scale Mandola", and which has a slightly smaller body than the 10-string Cittern or 8-string OM, as well as the shorter 20½ins scale length I mentioned in the earlier post below.
I hope this helped. ;-)
With kind regards;
Patrick.

This is no longer "never recorded".
He does a wonderful version on his new album "Abocurragh".
Available through his website.
Also,he doesn't seem to mind Idiot fans asking silly questions.
He answered mine!.

Hello again, gatheringdusk :-) This instrument is a 20½ins long-scale Mandola made for Andy by Stefan Sobell in Northumberland, UK. It is tuned DAEA.
With kind regards;
Patrick.

What instrument is Andy playing here? Is it a Davy Stuart instrument?

Correction - the name of the folk tune is: "Å kjøre vatten og kjøre ved" . Sorry I mixed the melodies. Cheers.

How funny! This tune: "Oslo" (which is the capital of Norway) is in fact a interpretation of a well known folk tune: Eg rodde meg ut på Seiagrunden... Nice and surprising!
Andy's been to Norway quite a few times, and he knows a popluar artist of ours: Lillebjørn Nilsen, who performs his own version of folk tunes (even though he is most famous for his own songs/ballads) Check him out on Youtube as well!
