Interesting video Wayne, beautiful electric octave. You’re right about just playing for fun. An octave mandolin forces you to rethink your fingerings because of the longer scale and new perspectives are always valuable! Sounds great too.

That’s a brilliant idea. Must be great for swing, kinda like how Johnny Gimble had single Mandola strings on his A-50?

I picked up a nice used Fender 5 string semi-hollow body mandolin in a Telecaster style. It’s a lot of fun. I don’t play it that much, but it sure changes the way I play when I do.

Those Fender 5 strings are fun. What is the scale length on those?

It kind of reminds me tonally of the place a baritone guitar might have in a country tune.

Yep. It can certainly fill that space. I loved playing "My Window Faces the South" on this instrument live with 3TO. Very versatile 👌

@@waynesworldofmandolin3616 I was fortunate that I was able to set it up. The experience has made me more cautious about doing it again. I think 17" is pushing it. The 4th string's tone?/timbre? suffers; it sounds muted. I look forward to your update.

It was built by Steve Hinde. You should check him out. I've got a deep dive planned for electric mandolin scale lengths. Stay tuned!

Can you share the strings you use on that? Gauge and such? Super fun!

I've experimented with a little of everything. When Steve completed the build we went with flatwound strings thinking it would be necessary to achieve the tension I wanted on the strings. Overtime I have settled into much lighter gauges. I'll be releasing a video very soon that demonstrates many different scale lengths for E-Mandos and what I have found each to be useful for musically. Thx for the question and I'll be more specific with an answer after I've prepared to create that content. Stay tuned....

I’m having a difficult time finding a “4 string octave electric mandolin” like this one. You said this was custom built right? Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find one? Many thanks in advance.
