Hello and welcome to our announcement!

Old traditional Neapolitan mandolin, characteristic of Italian violin making from the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. The instrument has a shell-shaped body composed of thin wooden sides assembled, forming a rounded back typical of Neapolitan mandolins. The top is made of light wood with an oval rosette, decorated with a protective dark veneer under the rosette, a common element on this type of old instrument.
The handle is made of wood, the key has simple markings, and the headstock accommodates old tuners with bone buttons. The set is preserved in its original hard case, sheathed on the outside and lined with blue felt on the inside, attesting to an authentic and coherent set.
The instrument requires restoration: it is not currently playable in its state, but constitutes a beautiful collector's item, decoration or a restoration project for lovers of old violin making.
