Yep, a Mandolele, half Uke, half Mandolin this is a new instrument as you will see from the youtube clip link, basically it was designed for Richard Harvey, who is also playing in the video clip he's playing the prototype, which is identical to the production model, which is what I am selling, it is a classic oval Mandolin shape but it has a wider neck and was designed specifically to be tuned Uke ( GCEA ) the strings are tune in pairs, this are pretty rare and only a few have been made, so you won't find many if any shops holding these in stock
so the top two strings nearest to your head are
wound low G/ steel high g - octave
wound low C/ steel high c - octave
wound low E/ steel high e - octave
steel high a/a unison
as Richard says in the video you can experiment with tuning for a different sound. link below

build quality is superb, it's cedar top back and sides and mahogany neck rosewood finger board, the gloss finish is beautiful, adjustable bridge/action very nice geared tuners, and ivoroid binding, front, back, soundhole and the finger board is also ivoroid bound.
I can send or upload more pics if needed
watch the youtube clip as Richard explains it much better, I paid £599
but will take any decent offer, reason for sale is simply I have gone over to the dark side of classical guitar pretty much full time, I can and will post some images as soon as possible
thanks Mark
