1977 Hamer Electric Mandocello
At 7:00 in this video interview, Rick Nielsen talks about his mandocello. “This is the original mandocello. This one was made in 1977 or ’78. This is the first electric mandocello that was ever made. He made it for me because they had none. On our first album, we had a song called Mandocello and then Heaven Tonight we did with a mandocello and then we did another album with, I can’t remember what the song was. It’s such a cool-sounding thing. It’s tuned C, G, D, A double strings.”
