Is it tuned C G D A like a Mandola or is it G D A E like an Octave Mandolin . Also isn't the scale length of a Mandola different from an Octave . Mine appear to be about five or six inches different .
HotRodSixString It's tuned E A D G (thinnest string first). In Britain we call these instruments Octave Mandolin, in the US they tend to get called Octave Mandola. This instrument is not a mandola it's tuned like a mandolin but an octave lower
A wonderful interpretation of this piece. You're certainly drawing some great music out of your instrument.
Thank you for sharing this tom. I really like your interpretation.
Bach is the best and thanks for sharing this! 8-)

Thanks . I have a Celtic Star Octave from Canada and it is a brilliant instrument .
too slow for gigue
I can't play it any quicker! I agree with you though
