Very well constructed. It rings very brightly. I'm very pleased with the overall workmanship on this import. However, the plastic tailpiece is a serious issue. With its diagonal slant toward the heavier strings, and a simple hinge at the base, it forces the C and D strings to pull far more than they need to, resulting in the bridge migrating off of the centerline. I'm replacing it with a custom bridge made by Montana Lutherie. I love this instrument, and can't seem to put it down. I keep discovering things about this form of tuning. An elevation in the hardware would put this maker in a higher league.

For the price, it has a decent tone playing with fingers or pick. I am an accomplished cellist, so finding a "guitar-like" instrument with strings tuned like a cello is amazing. This also has a floating mini-hum bucker which can be carefully adjusted and sounds quite good.

I wasn’t sure how I would like the mandocello but I was pleasantly surprised at the rich sound and tone of this instrument. I actually had thought of returning it because I thought i ordered a Octave Mandolin. Once I plugged it in and played it....I couldn’t put it down . The sustain and low end is amazing ! Love it!
