Mandocello you say?
Not many people know that 'mandolin' is the violin part of the mando family of instruments. So you have mandolin, mandocello and mandobass.
It also sounds lovely in the intro here

Thanks for opening a new rabbit-hole. (wiki)
I wonder what the etymology is? "Mando" might come from hand.
[In Italian, the suffix –one means big, and the suffix –ello means small. Violone, or “big viola,” was an early name for the double bass. But our friend the “bass arm viola” was smaller than the violone, so a diminutive had to be added, turning violone, the big viola, into violoncello, the little big viola. And in English, violoncello usually gets shortened… to cello.][1].
