as far as I know it's an octave mandolin, is it not?
-
@noahpalmertye No idea. I've never used a pickup before (I'm not good enough to play in public yet, so no need!), so I didn't ask Fletcher about it when I ordered mine.

@vbruno57 Actually, it really is an octave mandolin. It looks similar to the mandocello on Fletcher Brock's site because of the sunburst finish (the pics of his octave are in the blonde finish). If you compare the octave to his mandocello, you'll notice that the body of the 'cello is rounder at the neck joint than the one Sarah's playing here. The mandocello is a fifth lower than the octave and a little bigger.

@vbruno57 Fletcher Brock*. and strangely she is listed on his site as playing an "octave mandolin" although this appears to be exactly his "mandocello".
-
Mandocello is the correct name for this instrument...made by Luther Brock from Seattle, WA.

I was channel surfing the other night and flicked on Austin City Limits as she was starting her set. What an enthralling performance and such great chops on multiple instruments!



Man is this girl a musical genius or what? Those chords, that slick picking... this is what true talent sounds like. What amazing songwriting chops she has, on top of the playing skills. I can't wait to see her perform live!
