OX8 Octave

I make two different models of the Octave Mandolin each of which has slightly different characteristics. I use a 22" scale length, being a short, playable scale, yet using readily available gauges of ball-end guitar strings, usually 48, 32, 22, 14 from bass to treble. This results in a short scale instrument with amazing depth of sound, extremely rich and full.

Great for solo song accompaniment and for backup without the need for a guitar.

The OX fits into a guitar case.
