Mandocello Blueprint \ Plans

5/13/2019

Today in the shop...
Today is all about sharing my last few years of research and sketching, cutting, shaping, and assembling on one single piece of paper. For over 3 years now I had in mind to get " Building a K style Mandocello" out from my bucket list.. Although the build isn't completed, I am entering the finishing stages. Meaning, I was able to put all the gathered information on one Full Size Plan. I am also happy to announce that the blueprints are now available in my Store.

Hi Tommy,
Love your videos on YouTube. I was wondering if you might know where I can find plans for an Octave Mandolin.
Thanks
Dave

Please can you tell me where I can buy a specification for the measurements of an “A”
Style mandocello?

I would be very thankful. I wish to try to build one.

Unfortunately when building my M’cello I couldn’t find any plans either for Florentine or tear shape.
My blueprints could be adapted for a A style. Body shape would need to be changed but Graduation of top and back would keep same thickness.

Hope this helps...
