What gauge strings does an Octopus prefer? Is that wood torrefied? Or water-logged? Shouldn’t he be playing an 8-string?

Octopuses are amazing. I just finished reading a great book titled "The Soul of an Octopus."

At least he doesn't have to humidify his guitar.  If he has only eight feet, why does he have ten-tacles? What scale does he play in? Octatonic of course. Which in no way diminishes his playing ability.  I do know that an octopus is not a fish. It's actually a cephalopod; I got my head in the game. Enough for now; I'm starting to flounder around. Don .

Presumably this was a cheap guitar (might very well have been what I refer to as a GSO - guitar shaped object). But I can't help but be horrified seeing a guitar underwater!

Octopus reacts to acoustic guitar
As some may know, these fascinating invertebrates exhibit a surprising amount of intelligence.
So as a break from all the threads about humidifying guitars here's what happens when an octopus is introduced to a guitar. Things I note: unlike some humans, Octo checks the tuning before playing a new guitar. Once they get down to it, it appears they favor modern fingerstyle, including taping. Though in the end it also seems to be demonstrating that dropping a flat pick down the soundhole is no problem.

I thought it was gonna be the octopus reacting to the sound of a guitar being played. Wasn’t ready to see a guitar submerged. [emoji23]

No one has yet suggested rosewood vs. mahogany to see what they prefer.
