For a brief while I was the happy owner of an Octave Mandolin that I got from Kendall. Unfortunatly it was lost in the fire that took my house. I am looking for another. If anyone happens to have an extra one lying around......or knows of one that is for sale I would be interested in getting it.   (not a mandola, but an instrument that is tuned a full octave below the mandolin....so that the chords are all the same fingering....)
