Vintage Redwood ~ Round Soundhole MandolinThis is a traditional flatiron style mandolin, and an ideal instrument to start, or progress with, on your mandolin playing journey. It has a spruce top, back and sides, mahogany neck and fingerboard and rosewood bridge and hardware. It's a firm favourite not only with beginners, but also with the experienced players who helped me with the 'road testing of the Vintage mandolin range, and looks great with its semi matt antique violin finish.
