Re: 1.1/8 vs 1.3/16
My preference is for 1 1/8" as that is what I was accustomed to. My Stiver, was built with a 1 1/16", which I had not anticipated in my build. I have grown to like the 1 1/16". But, it took a little time.
I have never played a mandolin with a 1 3/16" nut but think I would grow used to that as well. Since I am often transitioning between mandolin and mandola I often wonder if a mandolin nut closer in size to my mandola would allow me to play cleaner. ( any advantage is welcomed)
