Why This Octave Mandolin Stands Out - Bulas Tone Samples & Review

[@steveyarbrough2300]

The way we write it over here in Poland is “Bułas.” That “l” with the slash is pronounced like a “w.” Great sounding instrument, and loved Jeremy’s picking.

Thanks for the clarification for everyone else reading. It is sometimes difficult to explain but everyone does what they can. As long as they say something about us, right?! 😊

Gaboon is a mahogany from Africa

[@bulasbanjos]

Big body, big sound! 😅

[@briandesjardins728]

Good lord I NEED this in my life. That thing sounds SO good. My inspiration senses are going wild. WoW!

[@nateday9328]

Very nice instrument!

[@jeremywanless2450]

Beautiful instrument

[@texhaines9957]

How would Jeremy get through this without John? Nice sounding and great looking instrument. Hey, hire me! I can pronounce that! Thanks John and Jeremy!

[@bulasbanjos]

They do a pretty good job at pronunciation! 😄

[@AlexA99423]

I need to find a way to try one of those.👍

[@bulasbanjos]

We didn’t expect the demand and popularity to be so instantaneous as it has become, so next year we’ll definitely focus on getting a bigger batch out. Hopefully we’ll be able to present one at IBMA next year. Unfortunately we’ll be out of stock for this year’s festivities.

That is a beautiful instrument! Can you paddle a canoe with? Just kidding-lol!

[@bulasbanjos]

I think it would be highly effective! Until the F-holes fill with water and it just becomes too heavy. I wonder how the neck would hold up in those conditions. 🧐

[@llf6188]

😅 lol!

[@kathimartin5392]

Lovely!

[@billybudd45]

Looks awesome, like a Bazuki

[@billybudd45]

Waiting for you to play it .

When are the banjos coming?

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

Who's the third person with red checks shirt who appears in between this clip who holds the octave mandolin?

[@AcousticShoppe]

That would be one of our videographers, Trent!

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

How is the OM tuned?

[@AcousticShoppe]

It is the same as a mandolin, just an Octave lower, GDAE

[@coolhandluke2310]

Tuning?

[@ruthpallek5202]

Like regular mandolin except one octave lower...thus the name octave. EADG.

[@WhiteHillRanch]

Somebody hold up a quarter! Are those men tiny, or is that Octave Mandolin extremely big?

[@EliInSpace]

Yeah looks like a mandocello

[@coolhandluke2310]

Tuning?

[@AlexA99423]

GDAE but an octave down from a mandolin.
