Re: 1938 Gibson H0 Mandola
H scale is 400mm.. a mandola is the cousin of the Viola, so tuning is CGDA. .
the pitch of the GDA are the same as a mandolin, C lower , E is gone.
I have a Non--Gibson Mandola in H scale length the width is comfortably wider..
the C does need a bit more space, bigger diameter string..
I'm using GHS PF285 a P-bronze 12,22,32,44.. fairly light . longer scale makes the C ring nicely
use a much fatter string on my shorter mandolin scale 4 string electric conversion.
