Product Description:
This is a classic mandolin from the renowned top brand Calace, model No.26. Positioned as a middle-grade instrument, it has been carefully played and broken in, resulting in exceptional resonance and sound quality. The body features a stunning swirl grain pattern on the back, showcasing the use of high-quality materials. The case is a premium Super Light model, typical for high-end instruments. Unlike current models that use wooden arm covers, this older model includes a tortoiseshell-patterned arm cover, making it a great find for collectors seeking vintage Calace mandolins.
Calace is a prestigious family brand with a rich musical heritage, founded by Raphael Calace. The brand gained a solid reputation in Japan through Suzuki Masakazu, founder of SUZUKI, who introduced Calace mandolins to Japan and even presented one to the Emperor, cementing its status.
