Octavia - a version of Mandocello/Bouzouki/Octave Mandolin

Meet "Octavia," a version of Mandocello/Bouzouki/Octave Mandolin made from a vintage silverware box. I included a metal resonator consisting of an antique silver trivet & resonator kit from Tramp Art Guitars. Violin scrolls are used for decorative sound holes. Also included are an adjustable "Rainbow" bridge & tailpiece made from a vintage door hinge. The neck is a repurposed "strat-o-copy" neck with 8 closed chrome tuners. The box opens & the instrument is self-standing.
