I wanted to share this one where she plays an OCTAVE MANDOLIN which is basically just a bigger mando thats tuned an octave down. It's got a much bigger neck, much broader range of notes that it can play, and is a bit of a different beast. However, it is still a mando. You still gotta hit two strings per strike, sorta like a 12 string guiar, and it's still got the mandolin tuning that takes a bit of getting used to. Still, I'd LOVE to try one of these out!! QUESTION: HAS ANYONE PLAYED AN OCTAVE MANDOLIN? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Sort of. 'Baritone' guitar is tuned either a 4th or a 5th below standard guitar. This octave mandolin is tuned a full octave below the standard mando with a scale of (usually) 22 inches. It's analog in the guitar world would be a contrabass guitar or what we commonly call a Bass VI (Fender). Not to be confused with a 6 string bass (tuning is different). Below that is what's known as a Mandocello, tuned an octave and a 1/4 below standard mandolin with a scale of 24 3/4 (Gibson Les Paul scale length). It's not uncommon to convert a Tele to a mandocello. Then there is the Mandola ... in between the standard mandolin and the octave mandolin. The viola of the mando family tuned CGDA.
