Am I wrong in thinking that they all could share the same body molds/templates? Or would a bouzouki body be too large for a mandolin? |

I assume you mean octave mandolin? I use the same approximate body size for all of them. I can vary it a little bit by adding spacers and changing the depth, but they are all pretty close. |

No I was thinking about the teeny mandolin with the baby frets. I think though that a bouzouki body would be too large, found some references to a bouzouki being 12-13" vs 10" for mando... |

My A-style ocatave/bouzouki and guitar body octave are both 14” wide. |
