What a glorious sound, so live and punchy, warm, a little growly. So cool.

Heart of Kentucky Real good playing Mike Marshall. You are one of the greats I use to hear you out and about, mostly at festivals. Katie.

Beautiful, wonderful instrument! Just wish they weren't so dang expensive.

You should look into Hora Octave Mandolins. Not as beautiful of a sound surely but a good first step.

Beautiful! Beyond words.

Wow ... what a fun demo . Love the sound / timbre and the playing so sweet .

Garcia Grisman Marshall they all have this certain California country blues grass style that is soo good I'd say it's the best which then in turn a crowd in unison shouts at me ELITIST!!!!

Beautiful sounding instrument, great volume and, as he said, sustained tone...well presented.

Such an incredible sound and such a unique instrument I just wish I could get one for around $1000 instead of $4500 which is about what I paid for my car

Lovely

@UCHZpus2TTpSRoMLC-UCWJNw The Guitar shaped Mandolin has a Name already, & it's called Mandolinetto so this could be thought of as an Octave Mandolinetto.

Does it have the Virzi Sound producer??

Hello! What a beautiful sound! Which tuning you use the mandolins ? Thank you for your attention and feedback!

I think eastman makes some. I've found with mandolins, it is worth it to avoid the budget models. For $500, you can get a decent instrument that you won't be fighting and you could sell if you waved and not lose much

I agree with Juney Shober, don't know him but agree with his thought/s. "If you buy a $2.00 hammer soon you will have to go buy a $20.00 hammer and you will have spent $22.00 plus your time for something you should have brought in the first place." Daddy always said, "only used good tools". If you can find a $20.00 hammer on sale some placer for cheap then YES jump on it but stay away from junk tools and my instruments are my tools. The sermons over, you can wake up and go home now!!!

Octave mandolins like this are tuned GDAE usually, like a regular mandolin, but an octave lower. The mandola however is tuned like a viola, CGDA.

I have an Amber maple body Northfield , 5,400 . It nice , and its opening up ,....but it's an OM and not a bouzouki , and not quite as easy on the fingers.

I call it a Tenor Mandolin because it has a Tenor voice.

It's modeled after a Gibson 335 Archtop Guitar.
