Octave Mandolins are tuned one octave lower than a Mandolin with 4 unison courses. I believe that the two higher courses on the bouzouki are tuned in octaves. Therefore they are not the same.

I had Bruce and Co. build me a gallatin deluxe. They are the best, and this is the best sounding octave mando I've heard.

[anzbanz]
