Hello, All.
I'm fairly new to the mandolin (actually returning to it after 15 years.)
I have been thinking of an OM and recently read something about the scale length of them and that while the tuning is the same (though an octave lower) the fret spacing due to the longer scale length necessitates using different fingerings for chords.
Is this so?
Do most people use different fingerings when playing the same chords but switching between a regular mandolin and an octave mandolin?
