Kilin Reece shows prototype Pono Octave Mandolin Hybrid

Kilin worked at Ko'olau Ukulele for years before starting KI Stringed Instrument Repair in Kailua. He still works closely with Ko'olau/Pono and had this idea for an octave mandolin (tuned double G D A E) with the shape of a very small body guitar or slightly large baritone (21.4" scale). For us uke players it looks like a large baritone 8 string with steel strings. For mandolin players it offers the same chord and scale shapes in a bigger sound and a lower range more friendly to singers. We thought the body shape was more comfortable than octave mandolins on the market and the sound was deeper and richer. This is just a prototype so stay tuned for more on this unnamed new instrument. Audio is raw and un touched so the levels may be lower than most youtube videos. Listen with quality playback for more accurate listening. Mahalo for checking it out. Let us know what you think.
