Anyone heard of Micawber mandolins out of Tennessee. they have a couple of intriguing Octaves, but I can't find anyone who has actually played them and compared them.

Interesting they are right here in Brentwood and I have not heard of them. Prices seem pretty nice.

They should invest in some more well recorded videos, as all the one's I listened to were pretty thin sounding for an Octave, IMO. But that price is sure nice...
Just pulled the trigger on one….. we shall see.

Made in China, some bold looking mandos for sure
I guess a Micawber mandolin should just turn up and find you...
I sent him a message asking about the tone, so he added a video/sound file.

I just saw these online. I've been looking for an octave mandolin that sounds better than the Eastman I have. If anyone gets one, please post a review. I was looking for a Weber Yellowstone Octave but they seem to be very rare. Wondering if this would fill that void?

Did a little more research. The Micawber octave mandolin appears to be an Afanti, from China. They will customize the build to anything you want. Comparing the stock Afanti and the Micawber, I see he basically just changed the headstock inlays. It's kind of tempting to just buy one from Afanti and do all the setup myself. hmmm

Keef's favorite.......
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
And Paris never was my kinda town
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
