This blonde, guitar-bodied octave mandolin has a bold, full acoustic voice, and plays like a dream. The 14" is Andrew Mowry's most popular size, and sits very comfortably on the lap. The scale length falls in a sweet spot for many octave mandolinists: long enough to enable a powerful sound, yet short enough to facilitate comfortable reaches in first position. Whether playing mandolin melodies down an octave, or as a songwriter's refined rhythm instrument, this Mando is an absolute blast to play.
