Very difficult to find. About as many as there are Deacon 12 strings or Limiteds.

I think I know where one is if you are having Mando-GAS?

Big O still makes the Mandocello, (don't they, Special order only ???) but doesn't seem to be stocked by anyone "NEW"...

Folk of the woods HAD a nice used one for $895.00
Retail was $2199.00 !!!

Unfortunately it was sold in 2003 just noticed after searching for it again...

See the pretty pics here:

Rare AND unique....

I have been wanting to try one for years, but they are rare enough to keep the price high enough to discourage my experimenting.

A used one for $895 seems one of the better deals I have seen for a Mandocello, but the number of them I have seen on eBay over the last few years is probably less than ten.
