INSTRUMENTATION

Mandolins

A relative of the violin, mandolins are featured across a variety of genres.

Mandola, Mandocello

The mandola and mandocello are the plucked-string cousins of the viola and cello providing a rich mid-to-low range.

Guitar and Bass

Acoustic guitars and bass round-out the core of the mandolin orchestra.

Do you play a plucked-string instrument?

If you play mandolin, octave mandolin, mandola, mandocello, acoustic guitar or bass, and are curious to see what we’re about, contact us to chat, attend a rehearsal or an upcoming performance.  We are currently looking for new members.

New to the Mandolin or Guitar?

We are fortunate to have the following members offering lessons on instruments used in the orchestra today.
