    Default Have a photo of a Regal Octophone so we can illustrate Wikipedia?

    I noticed the Wikipedia article on the Regal Octophone (1920s octave mando) lacks any image:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octophone

    Does anyone have a photo of an Octophone that you took yourself, and are willing to release to Creative Commons? If so, we can add it to the article in minutes, and the article will have a cool illustration.

    In case anyone was wondering, that Wikipedia page apparently gets 1,300 views/year, which isn't setting the world on fire but is enough views that it makes sense to illustrate the article if someone here happens to own such a Regal.

    If you don't know how to upload photos to illustrate Wikipedia articles, there are quick tutorials, or I can walk you through it. They have a pretty intuitive page for it, and once you've done it once or twice you can do it in seconds, so it's no huge ordeal. Hit me up if anyone needs help with this (or any other music-related) photo upload for Wiki.

    Here is one you can use and happy to have it released to Creative Commons. Not the best photo, but a couple of generations of digital cameras back.

    Cheers
