I just got a Mid-Missouri M-80 Ocatave Mandolin and love it!!
I've been playing it mostly in GDAE but have experimented with GDAD a little.
I was wondering if anyone has some tips on making the 2nd to 7th fret stretch and what parts of my mandolin technique will I want to adapt to something that works better for the octave.
Also what are some tunes that suit themselves particularly well to the octave (I play mainly irish music) and If there are any internet resources / books that I should checkout.
Thanks
