Used Martin Style 4 Bowlback Mandolin

A remarkable instrument from the earliest days of Martin's Nazareth factory at the start of the 20th century! This mandolin radiates old-world elegance and tone. Overall condition is good, with moderate pick wear below the pickguard. One slat of the back has been reglued and is stable.
