Had an idea, and maybe it's been tried before. Was wanting opinions.
I have access to an old mandola with a 17" scale, so about 3" more than a typical mandolin. The mandola offers a bigger sound body, and I was thinking, maybe bigger, sweeter sound. Is it possible to string it up for a mandolin tuning?
I am think, with that short scale and bigger sound body, if it worked it would probably have a resonant, lovely sound and be nice and quick. But are the strings to make it happen even possible?
