Jake Wildwood - Good Evening City Streets (improv)
Just a little improvisation on some themes. I'm playing a 1930s B&J "Serenader" archtop tenor guitar, probably made by Regal, and tuned GDAE and octave ...
@trashmachine85 It's a tenor guitar (4 strings) tuned GDAE and octave below
mandolin... so gauges are around 45w, 32w, 22w, 12. The guitar is a
Regal-built round-hole archtop c.1930s, but branded B&J Serenader (a
distributor's mark, not the manufacturer). Really fantastic guitar but I
sold it... too many instruments!
jake, I play tenor guitar too and own a vintage national. I'd like to get
another one, and I'm impressed by yours. The problem is that I'm trying to
find a picture of it on the web or some information but it seems that B&D
only made serenader banjos... are you sure about brand and model?

Doyle Octave Mandola
Mandola, made by me last year, tuned an octave lower than the mandolin, popular for celtic music, made from Brazilian rosewood, back and sides, spruce top ...
ok in america they are called octave mandolin but in england and europe
from my introduction in the early 70's they were called the octave mandola,
the other one was a tenor mandola, so a mandola would be understood here as
a tenor unless you are playing in an irish session a mandola would be
understood to be a octave mandola as tenor's are not used in sessions
unless a capo is used, confusing isint it, paul
I saw an explanation that Mandolin is the diminutive of Mandola and the
larger instrument can't be a miniature of the middle size instrument, so
it's "Octave Mandola". Which made perfect sense to me. The picture in the
website wasn't near as beautiful as your instrument. Your craftsmanship is
incredible.
It is a confusing term. Mandolin tuning is GDAE the same as a violin, so an
octave mandolin is tuned the same, just an octave down. Mandola tuning is
the same as a viola, a fifth lower than a violin, and of course an "octave
mandola" would in most places be called a mandocello.
hi yes its the most sensible name as you can say,, is that a tenor or an
octave mandola, instant recognition, well in england in the early 70's
thats the way it was,,,Paul
Lovely sound and workmanship. What's the scale length ? To me it sounds
more like an 'Irish Bouzouki', with the extra scale length they have. But
good though.
