Armrest for Eastman MDO305 Octave Mandolin?
Hey all! I've been lurking around for a few years, but this is my first actual post. I've been spoiled by an armrest/tailpiece combo that came on my Weber, so now I want all my mandolins arm-rested. Does anybody know what armrest(s) would fit the Eastman MDO305 octave mandolin? It's thinner than a lot of octaves, but thicker than a typical mandolin, so I'm not sure what will be the best fit.
I have a Cumberland mandolin armrest on its way to put on my new-to-me Northfield (also on its way), so I can see if that would fit and report back - my gut tells me it would be too small, but I may be wrong. Apologies if this has already been discussed - I couldn't find a thread like this in my basic search. Thanks in advance!

Soliver armrests fit fine. Have one on my Eastman octave. A McClung should also work. Both are taller than the Cumberland which helps (IMO) with the taller bridge of the Eastman.

I used a McClung with my MDO305. Worked like a charm!
