Mini classical to octave mandolin: final transformation

As of today, i can play this thing and it holds its tune. There’s a worrying crack at the top of the headstock, but it survived my sound test. I'll see how it holds over time. If it doesn't, I may have to add a headstock replacement to this project. 

From crap six string. I didn't have even a photo from when i took pictures of all my instruments for insurance because i didn’t bother, so this the best Before picture.

 

To its current form as Octave Mandolin. That’s half a mando bridge after Scott pointed out the issues with a full bridge.


With a brief sound test.just to make sure:

  1. Impressive work and it sounds pretty good, much like my old octave mandolin. Well done!
