Description
Brand: Martin Mandolin Model: A


This is an amazing instrument. She is in amazing condition for almost 100. The instrument is set up and plays perfectly. Set up by an auth Martin repair shop. The only pieces that are not original are the bridge, the pick guard. I do not know if the string plate is original. I got it with it. She was in a local estate sale and I had her fixed to play. This is a great collectors piece. Rare Martin Style B.The repair was to check and re glue a crack pictured on the front. It was repaired and ready to play. She plays beautifully. Brazilian rosewood, snow flake inlays herring bone back. Gorgeous nickel tuning key backs with scrolls.I hope this is sold to a player. Low start for instant sale.Don't be a wall flower. I feel Mandos are way under valued and to get this one in this shape is rare.She will be wrapped and shipped but no case.   Serial # 8916   could be 6916 but rather you be better surprised.I have to sell and hate to let her go. Picture looks dark on the end by the bridge to the string cover. This is a reflection. I had 2 questions about itNo discolorationGood Luck.Sorry no international bids or shipping.  Made USA   Stay USA.
