This versatile instrument transforms effortlessly from a Mandocello into a five-string Liuto Cantabile—simply swap out the unglued nut and saddle.

Crafted entirely from solid wood, this flat-top Mandocello, designed in 2024, boasts a 24 3/8” scale. It produces a warm tone with great volume and exceptional sustain. Tuned like a Cello—C G D A—it resonates an octave lower than a Mandola. To see it in action, watch the demo video.
