    Another fine creation, Jo. judging by the length of the neck (as compared against the size of the tuners), I am guessing it has a scale length between mandolin and mandola? How is it tuned?

    Thanks!

    Scale length is 50cm (this is a segunda size). They are usually tuned G CC EE AA G, but sometimes A DD GG BB E. I've gone with the latter for now (with an octave on the G) so I can more easily play along with others at a local jam in a park.
