Musikalia Flatback Octave MandolaThis is a good quality entry level instrument with a nice resonance, ideal for a beginner and is prefectlysuited to Irish and Scottish music either as accompianment or lead. It is the larger cousin of the mandolinwith 8 strings in 4 courses and is tuned an octave lower, normally GDAE.It would suit someone who plays, say, fiddle, guitar or mandolin and fancies a change, or an instrument to take camping or to the local pub sessions. It was manufactured in Sicily by Musikalia and has a sprucetop with mahogany back and sides. It is in good condition overall and has only ever been played at home. The body has a few minor dings here and there and signs of age and there is a crack/indent on the top edge of the body but this does not affect the tone of the instrument. It has been kept in a rough wooden carrycase which will also be supplied. The only reason for sale is I have developed arthritis in my fingers and playing it is becoming quite difficult for me. It will be shipped detuned to avoid any damage. Thanks for looking.PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE - UK BIDDERS ONLY AS I WILL NOT SHIP OVERSEAS.
