Re: Saving for an octave
I’ve got an Eastman MDO305 OM and it works well for me. The scale is 21”, slightly shorter than some others. It’s got a sound described by some as nasal. I think of the sound as being a mandolin family analogue to a parlor-size guitar; not great for everything but a standout when you match it to the music and venue. I haven’t yet seen/tried the new MDO605 but I’ll expect the feel to match the MDO305 with a more refined sound and extra bling.
A couple years in, now, and still learning!

I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
