Shippey "Tone" Octave Mandolin

This is a short demo of my latest “Tone” Octave mandolin. I recorded it with a simple Zoom H2n Handy Recorder. It’s just the raw recording with no EQ or other treatment...hopefully it will give an idea of how this instrument sounds. I used a Dunlop “Ultex” .88 pick and the strings are D’Addario EJ80 Phosphor Bronze Octave Mandolin Strings.
The music is Ninna Nanna (Lullaby) by Giuseppe Aonzo
