Chris, how many mandos have you made over the years? That's your "specialty," right? I put that in quotes because, well, you can obviously make anything!

Hardly a specialty. This’ll be my 3rd in the family.
1 mandolin
1 mandola
and this will be an octave mando.
Sorry, Chris. I had mandolins in my head... 
. Those other ones of yours are really gorgeous!
So, an octave mando means each course is octaves, or is it just specific ones?

It’s just an octave lower than the regular mandolin. Usually paired in the same octave, like it’s tinier sibling, but sometimes the lower two courses are in octaves.Sorry, Chris. I had mandolins in my head...

The shipping box the case came in was too small for any appropriate padding so I had to use a more accommodating sized one.
After all, it's only fitting.

On commission or speculation?

Speculation or curiosity or whatever life throws to @AcornHouse

That would depend on a commission. If the trend continues, I would think a mandocello would be first.

I like the sound of Mandocellos.

Puck is phenomenal.
I need to grow out my thumbnail though.

I've played along with a few Rumba backing tracks. They're fun. I tend to try and improve over them, with mixed results.
