Octave mandolins are tuned one octave lower than the standard mandolin, making them a favorite among mandolinists who want to expand their range while retaining familiar playability. The Gold Tone OM-800+ delivers this versatility with a generous 22.5" scale length, a feature often found in the best custom-built Irish octave mandolins.
Crafted with an arched solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a slim mahogany neck, this instrument offers warm, resonant tone and comfortable playability. Its compound-radiused rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth chording and precise melody playing. A passive bridge-mounted pickup allows for easy amplification, while Gold Tone’s expert setup guarantees low action and buzz-free performance. Built for both stage and studio use, the OM-800+ provides traditional acoustic sound with modern versatility.
