Is there such a thing as a 3/4 of an octave mandolin? I turned a strumstick ukulele into something tuned in 5ths, DAEB. The D is an octave lower than a regular mandolin. The distance between the frets is a little bit greater than a regular mandolin but not very much. I've never played a mandola, but it's probably about that size. I think I invented a 3/4 octave mandolin, unless such a thing actually exists. Now I kind of want a mandola that I can tune this same way. Is that even possible?
