Say - there is a growing interest in Mandocellos, not just in the acoustic realm, but also the electric world. Why doesn't Ernie Ball jump on the bandwagon?
Eastman, Dammann, and Weber are offering some great looking and good sounding acoustic mandocellos right now. There are only a couple string makers out there - is the "D" word acceptable here?
As for electric solidbody mandocello players (like me), I am making do with Ernie Ball singles - but that's really expensive! I'm paying over $20 for 8 strings, 6 nickel wound, and 2 plain steel strings.
My local music store suggests that I buy 8 string guitar sets (the D word, again) - but I have to buy 2 sets, and I end up with 4 strings from each pack that I'll never use. Not cool.
Please give a shout out if you need strings for your mandocello, and would like Ernie Ball to get in on the action.
