Holding an octave mandolin like a classical guitar
I'm curious if any of you who play classical music on an octave mandolin hold it in the position depicted here - with the neck angle at 45 degrees or much more? Just by accident tonight I held my OM with a fairly extreme angle (a little more than in this picture maybe?) - and it seemed to make both fingering the fretboard and plucking the strings easier, I think I may experiment a bit.
