Oui bien sur Monsieur.Greenpeace, sorry to disappoint. So tell me, you do know about the French treatment of the Rainbow Warrior of course? Hence your ironic monika?

Dan;The instrument shown above is called a MandoCello.
It's a giant Mandolin strung with the same tuning as a Cello.
It has 8 strings but these are tuned as pairs that are in unison.
So the tuning goes CGDA. Same as a Cello. Thus the string pairs, known as courses, are a fifth apart.
Here you go Mike.If you could let me know the serial number, I could add this one to the Register, even though it's likely to be scrapped.
The trouble with gifted children is they can only make it to the top if a number of conditions are fulfilled. However bright and gifted, if there's no support from anywhere it is unlikely that they will get anywhere. Rarely some kids have enough drive on their own regardless of parental or peer approval but mostly the ones who excel have a loving supportive family and some kind of direction towards studious pursuits. Marriage breakups and dysfunctional families tend to disrupt these bright kids and render them unsuccessful in the longterm.Dan;
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Looking at what you can achieve, simply confirms my belief that young school children should not be classed as gifted and talented. The term is often bandied around at young school student, who have high academic abilities. However, in my humble opinion, this belittles anyone who can excel in their chosen past-time or career, because they too are gifted and talented. Therefore Dan, you you fall into the realm of being gifted and talented.
Dano
Cheers!Here you go Mike.

Hi luthier,Hey Dano, I've decided not to pursue this project. Thanks to your expose of what is likely I can easily see a large waste of time there, and that's time I'd rather use making instruments. I just finished the one below and plan to start another one soon. I feel this work is more productive for me than playing with rust. Cheers.
Is it what you use to hold your butt plug in?I don't know what a butt clamp is, but it sounds like something used in prostate surgery. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
