    This is one of my Possum Head Line of instruments. They are not finished out to a buffed finish. More rustic and plain in appearance.
    Scott, the new owner is playing the octave and Colby is playing a Possum Head A mandolin in some of the videos.

    John, the scale is 22" tuned GDAE.
    Bill, thanks for the heads up. I'll see if I can get that one working.

    Thanks Jake, John and Bill. I was pleased with it as It was my first octave size mandolin. The owner was really pleased. The videos really don't do the tone justice.

    Thought I'd try and see if I was able to post the video on the cafe. Thanks to the tech support.
