I'd like to stay with something short scale to make melody playing/stretch a easier. My question is, octave mandolin or cittern? OM will get me in a little cheaper to start, but I like flexibility of the cittern in terms of having the addition top course to adjust for a longer reach. I'm not interested in a mandola.
What direction should I go?
