    Octave Mandolin Question

    Am new to octave mandolins. Was curious, are most of
    them strung with sets which have the 2nd course (strings 3 and 4)

    Re: Tacoma Mandolin Course Spacing

    Yep I've got to say, since I found this M1 my interest has peaked. The M1 with the interesting spacing is sold, gone. But I've managed to get my hands on 3 others since then. 2 M1s and an M2. None of...

    Re: Tacoma Mandolin Course Spacing

    Well yes, I am just in the discovery stage regarding this Tacoma. Seems consensus is $700 is a little steep for the one in Seattle.
    I'm off tomorrow and think I'll check out the other Tacoma (the...

    Re: Tacoma Mandolin Course Spacing

    Yes I called them in Seattle & got the scoop. Seems a customer bought it in the Rhode Island GC

    Re: Tacoma Mandolin Course Spacing

    Well I’ll be doggoned! In my searching around I spoke to the guitar center that had this one. In Rhode Island I believe. They told me this one had been sold long ago. They said sorry it hadn’t been...

    Re: Tacoma Mandolin Course Spacing

    Hi,

    Re: Mandolin shops in Tacoma, WA

    I recently played a Tacoma M1. A very nice instrument. Flat top, flat back, the paisley hole and very well set up action etc.
    The unusual thing (to me) was the course spacing (space of each pair &...
