Octave Mandolin

The octave mandolin is a member of the mandolin family, tuned an octave below the standard mandolin. It is characterized by its larger size and deeper, richer sound. The octave mandolin is popular in Celtic and Irish music, where it provides a robust, resonant sound ideal for traditional tunes and accompaniment. It is also used in bluegrass, folk, and classical music, both as a solo instrument and in ensemble settings.
