    I'm guessing it's not quite as large as Joni Mitchell's 1915 K-4 mandocello that she bought from Stanly Jay (Mandolin Brothers, 1976) and wrote "Song for Sharon" on (Hejira album, Side 2 Track 1).

    Looks like 20 inch scale length.
    1 & 1/4 inch fretboard width at nut.
    Year 2018
    Price (so far) $4,400.00 plus $50 shipping plus tax.

    Beautiful and I'll bet it sounds impressive.

    Mandocello = 24 & 3/4 inch scale length (long as some guitars).
    Octave Mandolin = 20 inch scale length.

    Here is a (not so wonderful recording... Hisssss) of a Weber Yellowstone A Octave Mandolin in action (Youtube) https://youtu.be/x9qUnao2Wpw
