Re: OM octave paired strings playability
I have a few octave mandolins, 4,5 and 8 string ones. I have one string up in octaves on the lower two strings, but it does take some time to get used to, once you do you can actually do a lot of different things, I sometimes down stroke the lower octane string only and sometimes up stroke the higher one using them as single strings to make a song, but I like unison on my octaves more, I just ordered a electric 5 string, can't wait to get it, but since it is being made I won't get it until next year
