Spartacus Chord Req: Mandocello chords/tuning (9) RE: Chord Req: Mandocello chords/tuning 25 Apr 03


Mandolin tuning is like the violin in tuning, GDAE, and likewise the other members of the mandolin family follow their bowed counterparts. The viola is comparable to the mandola, tuned CGDA, and the cello has the mandocello as its plectrum equivalent.

Like the cello, the mandocello is tuned CGDA an octave below the viola/mandola. If you buy a mandolin chord book and transpose the chord names up 5 steps, the chords will finger the same way.

Good Luck.
