That low C tho...hits you right in the feels.

Thile doing the cello suites needs to be a thing!! After he finishes the sonatas and partitas, of course...

I love when he plays classical on mandolin. He’s so, so talented.

Nice to hear him in such a relaxed setting. Beautiful sound.

I’ve never seen or heard one before, it’s beautiful, I love the tone and the fullness of it.

Chris, dinking around on somebody's mandocello: *casually busts out the opening to Cello Suite #1 - Prelude* You're a master, sir. Never change.

Thanks for posting these videos - very cool instruments and it is always fun to watch Chris Thile do his thing!

That is way to sick Thile. I play the cello and mandolin. My next instrument is definitley going to be a mandocello!

Oh that’s beautiful!!!! The pieces you could play on it are infinite!!

I love watching him play, I love his commentary. Thanks for sharing.

Whoa! Thanks for sharing! I love this mandocello

Yes, Chris! Buy that thing and do the cello suites!!! Pleeeeez! Whine whine!

I don't think I've ever heard Chris Thile say, 'wait, how does it go'.......that was a weird moment.

had no idea the mandocello was a thing. and i want it now.

I just discovered the mandocello, what a nice sound and tone! great video

almost like mando, guitar and cello all wrapped up in one

Lovely playing. Thanks my dude.

Wow some sweet melodies he was playing!

Chris! I still have his first CD. I think he was 12. Extraordinary then and now!

I don't think I have ever heard someone pick up a mandocello and not play Bach Cello Suite 1.

I love his enthusiasm.

Beautiful tone

Beautiful.

Beautiful instrument.

Beautiful instrument

When he started playing that one piece it actually made me cry it was that beautiful of a sound

man look at baby Chris. so young and ensouled

The mandocello & the baritone guitar make a good duo.

Sounds so good

Looks like an elf found a loar mandolin ;)

Yes Chris should get cello and do a solo tour of the suites

Well, you don't see one of those every day......gorgeous.

Oh man, i wanted that to keep going.......and going.......

It sounds like chocolate butter!

Love it. I want one.

Awesome!!

I love you, Chris

God i wish he would buy one of those and blindside everyone by making a heavy-music-mandocello record. "The deftones meet radiohead but with mandocello, u mad?" - Pitchfork, probably.

sounds incredible still

I need one so bad

OMG, love the deep sound of that Mandocello. Plus he's not a bad player either. LOL

great player ,,,,,want a mandocello after hearing this

Gosh it sounds ;ole Oud ... unbelievable !!

My next instrument. It just sings..wow.

Do the cello suites on that. If you do i will definitely buy it.

Next up, Chris plays Megadeth on a cigar-box rubber band guitar and deflates the remaining 2% of my ego. Hope he puts it on Spotify, tho

That smile says it all, pick one up 🤣🤣 🎉🎉 for another goat rodeo. Mando cello and yo-yo ma dueling it out 🤣🤣

Yeah, he will just casually go through the cello suites, because he has an awesome mind for music and can play from memory for long pieces, unlike we mortals who struggle

Beautiful! Could you play some chords? It sounds like a nice range of my 7-string guitars... Could you install a pickup in it?

Oh, that thing is really neat. I wonder how that would fit with a semi-hollow electric 12-string and a regular mandolin??

😍 he can play Bach with everything 😎😉

For me that K-5 "Mando style build" is gorgeous say compared to the few real Loar K-5's as they are just an L-5 body with the 8 string neck! Thats also why I love the old K-4's!

Does Gilchrist (or any other company, for that matter) make lefty mandocellos?

Way cool concept. And I had no idea Quentin Tarantino played so well.

now I want one ...

Early in the video, I thought "first thing I would do on a mandocello is some Bach suites." Looks like I'm not the only one.

This one was on the cutting table about the same time as my FERN 96325

Now I wish Thile would play ALL of his Bach transcriptions on this instrument (well not literally this one, it belongs to someone else, but one just like it).🎵🤣

I've never seen an f style mandocello wow wow wow

What's he playing at 1:30??

is he the feller from that band with the song about the lighthouse. ?

I like how they called it a mandolin tasting

It sounds just like an Oud

Wow

We wants one 😂

Cool beans

Omar Jamal I would have to agree. That's way below the mandolin in scale. I played with the LA Mandolin Orchestra and the mandolas always played the C clef. We also had a couple mandocellos and a mandobass played by this little woman with a quite voluptuous body. It was so much bigger than her. An amusing sight! She had no trouble playing it though. Mandocello has such a deep, beautiful tone.

I think he might have left with that beautiful instrument and somebody else left with a rather sizable addition to their bank account
