    …exactly what that instrument Carrie Rodriguez was playing is called? It looked like a small guitar, but it sounded like a mandolin and looked like it had 8 strings.

    Could it be this?

    Not 100% sure, but I think Donnie Herron has played this on occasion while touring with Dylan. All of the above submitted by a non-musician!

    I believe Carrie calls it a Mandobird.

    Hi, Tim.

    Didn’t Godzilla fight Mandobird in some movie 40 years ago? 🙂

    Hi Lefty, how are you? Thank you for that link. I can’t remember that about Godzilla, but you’re probably right. Take care.

    Thanks, guys. Looks like Tim is right, as this sure looks like what she had in Columbus:

    We saw her at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia. She was playing an electric mandolin but it only had 4 strings. The fingering is the same as a fiddle so it must have been an easy transition for her. By the way, she is great in person.
