That sure is lovely, but I'll bet it has a short (13") scale. That really limits the tone and volume. I had to move on from a carved top Martin 2-15 for a teens Gibson A about a year ago. Good luck!
It produces a very crisp, clear note and the intonation is perfect. It does lack bass, compared to a gibson but that was one of the reasons that I loved it, but after the years seems to be the reason for selling it. I want more bass in my playing, but that is only a change of 'the sound' i want and nothing negative towards the instrument.
If I could afford to keep both I wouldn't part with it, for sure !

Re: very rare mandolin for sale
That's the trouble with people in today's society - there is no loyalty.
I'm sure this little beauty served you well over the years, never let you down when you needed her, & this is the thanks she gets for her loyalty.
To be cast aside for a younger model.
(Sorry, I'm just trying to get back into Zina's good books!!)

The tone is superb and it is loud.

I'm an L&H freak. I'll go $100.
Seriously, I'm going to mourn not being able to justify buying this one for a long time, but. . .I can't.

Re: very rare mandolin for sale
Very pretty! I've had several pals write me to ask if I'd seen it!
I don't think that any of them will pony up for it, tho... sorry to say.
Best wishes for a smooth sale!
