I\'ve played this mandolin with great joy for several years, but am thinning out my instruments and this one has to go. It needs some tender, loving care but can be repaired. Current issues: Large unrepaired crack in top, three previous cleats insidetop. Top has \"bumped up\" between bridge and tailpiece and is currently touching strings. The back has been off at some point for repairing previous cracks. Top has been sanded and refinished.
Other than that, it still sounds great when played. Really barks loudly.
Hardshell case included.
