This is the largest member of the mandolin family. The instrument is played almost exclusively with a plectrum, and has a fretted neck. The mandocello is constructed much like the mandolin, and may have a traditional rounded, “bowl-shape” back or a flat back, which was polularized by Gibson in the U.S. The mandocello generally has 23 frets and four courses of strings, tuned (from low to high) C, G, D, and A.
