    Re: Mandocello as an octave?

    Re: OM Scale Lengths

    Longer scale length generally translates to access to heavier gauge strings, which can produce a fuller sound. It also can have more resonance.

    Longer scale length also makes melody/lead playing...

    Re: 1898 Gibson Mandolin

    I've played that one. It really is a sweet instrument, and it sounded (to my ear) better than the high priced new mandos that were in stock at the time!!

    Really amazing stuff. Is that an h-4 or an f-4 he's playing?
