Weber: Octar Mandolin

Weber Octar MandolinWeber Fine Acoustic Instruments recently introduced a new instrument to it’s catalog, the Octar Mandolin.

The Octar is an octave mandolin built on a guitar body with a carved top and f-hole style sound holes. It is being offered in both 22″ and 23.5″ scale lengths. The Octar comes standard with the same appointments as Weber’s existing carved-top guitar line, but can be built to order with any of Weber’s custom options.

The Octar synthesizes the percussiveness of the carved-top f-hole guitar with the haunting drone of the octave mandolin. The scale length options offer maximum playability for multiple venues, from the stage to the recording studio.

Weber Fine Acoustic Instruments is located in Logan, Montana.
