This beautiful mandolin is in excellent condition, is easy to play with a clear even tone across all strings.It was designed by Martin Bank and made as a one-off by Martin and Gordon Hewson of Oakwood Instruments. This mandolin incorporates a specially designed tail-piece, marquetry inlays on the headstock and back and an abalone Celtic-Knot around the triangular sound-hole as well as abalone ‘snow-flake’ markers on the ebony fretboard. It is made with the finest tone-woods and is a beautiful thing. It has a nice low action 1mm on E string and 1.2mm on G string at 12th fret.It includes a hard case as shown in the photos. A reluctant sale as it is sadly seldom played.
