_ _ Hey everybody, Scott Nygaard with PEG-ED Nation here, and I'm here with a beautiful Weber
Mandolins Red River Cutaway Octave Mandolin.
This is a new shape for Weber Mandolins.
They've
based it on an arch-top guitar body with a cutaway here.
It's very fun to play.
You can
hear it sounds great.
And let me tell you a little bit about it.
Bruce Weber founded Weber
Mandolins back in the late 90s and has been creating beautiful mandolins and mandolin style
instruments for quite a while.
In 2012, he sold the company to the Two Old Hippies family,
and which includes Bedell guitars and Breedlove guitars, as well as now Weber Mandolins. _
They've
been with Two Old Hippies for a little while now.
And this beautiful mandolin, you can see
_ it's got a tombar braced red spruce top.
It's got quilted maple back and sides and neck.
It's got a
tortoise and ivory bound ebony fingerboard with a 1 3 8 inch nut.
And the neck has a 10 inch radius
with nice mother of pearl fret markers.
It's got a 20 inch scale length, which is nice and compact.
So you don't have to stretch out too far to reach up to the upper frets, which if you're a mandolin
player might be a bit of a reach and you're used [B] to getting that B up there, for instance, with [D] your
fourth finger.
_ [A] _ And actually, if you've got stretchy [D] fingers, long fingers, [G] you can probably get up
there.
_ It also means it's great for guitar players because it's a little bit shorter than would be
on a guitar but is not so far, [Gm] so much bigger that it gets [C] uncomfortable.
_ It's got a double action
truss rod, got Grover tuners, an adjustable ebony bridge, nice beautiful shape there, _ and nickel
plated cast tailpiece.
Now Weber produces a number of different styles of this mandolin.
So you could
get it with a round hole.
Without the cutaway, you should definitely check out their website to
see all the different combinations and things you can get if you're looking for an octave mandolin.
This is just one model that they make, very beautiful and great sounding one.
[Eb] Let's have
Peghead Nation's Sharon Gilchrist play us a little tune on it so you can really see what it sounds
like in the hands of a professional [D] mandolinist.

_ _ [G] _ All right, that's the Weber Mandolin's Red River Cutaway Octave Mandolin.
You can hear it sounds
great in Sharon's hands.
It's really enjoyable [A] to play.
_ Action is really [C]
[G] nice, at least set up the way we got it from Weber here.
Really fun to play.
Sounds great and all the registers are sweet tone.
[Bb] _ I'll just send you out with a little bit of [G] another tune here.
