Gernandt Stringed Instruments

Gernandt Mandocellos are large archtop (hand carved} instruments incorporating a”scroll” design with a 16″wide body and a 25″ scale length. The custom Mandocello delivers a huge rich voice with enough sustain to fill the room. Mandocellos are tuned C.G.D.A one octave below the Mandola.

Custom 10 string versions are available upon request. These can be tuned C,G,D,A,E, combining the Mandocello and the Octave Mandolin into one instrument. Either a 25″ or 23,5″ scale length can be used along with optional  tunings (depending on string gauges used}. Some common examples of optional tunings are, D,G,D,A,D or G,D,G,D,G.
