Octavio

Octavio Octavio
The original
EARNEST octave mandolin has gone through a number of design changes and
refinements resulting in OCTAVIO, a flat-top, octave mandolin featuring
a strong, guitar-like bass and a sweet, balanced treble with lots of sustain.
The deep, rounded teardrop shape creates a large air chamber allowing the
instrument to respond to the low G strings, while the 23″ scale gives
it the “feel” of a tenor banjo. OCTAVIO fills a void in the mandolin
family. It creates an ideal voice for Celtic music, as well as other ethnic,
classical, and contemporary styles. OCTAVIO is available in domestic or
exotic tonewoods, with a spruce top, ebony or rosewood fingerboard (12″
radius or flat), and ivoroid binding.
