Hi there mado-pickers! I was wondering if any of you have played a resophonic mandolin. I've been plyaing mandolin for a little while now with dustbin threesome. Since we play only acoustic, I was forced to play a banjolin or banjoskin mandolin (what do you call it anyway?). I was wondering if a reso mando was louder than a regular mandolin. And if it is, is it allmost as loud as a banjolin? Anyone tried one of those (relatively) cheap johnson reso-mandolins? Are they any good? By the way: is an ocatve mandolin actually an octave lower than a regular mandolin? Cheers,

An octave mandola is tuned like a mandolin but an octave down. Dunno about the other stuff, sorry!

thanx for your reply, I found out about the other stuff by now. I bought a johnson resonator mando and I bought a Michael kellyf-style mandolin at elderly a few weeks ago. The reso mando is not louder but has more bas and mid in its sound. I tried the national resophonic mandolin and that baby was loud!!! Unfortunately allso quiet expensive, 1500 usd. I allso bought a vineyard tenor ukulele which I tuned to baritone, this baby has a tone sweet as honey, I greately recommend those vineyard ukes! beybey, Y.
