    HO-0007 ca. 1891 Howe-Orme Cello Mandola     EXC   I have converted this to a 5 string tenor guitar by simply replacing the nut and the bridge so it can easily be converted back to a mandola if so desired. It has a 20" scale length. Nurt width is 1 5/16". Spruce top and mahogany back and sides. No cracks and just a few dings here and there. Rosewood headstock overlay and original tuning pegs. Unique cylinder top and perfectly aged wood gives it a strong sound and contributes to the structural integrity and has made it last in fine shape for over 130 years and ready to rock. The label is in fine shape with Serial number 294. There must be some sort of a case around here somewhere that will work for shipping.
    Price: $3850.00


    GM - 00106 2007 Corrado Giacomel Octave Mandolin     EXC+   A beauty from Corrado Giacomel of Genoa Italy. Red Sunburst spruce top and flamey maple back and sides, all crack free. Maple neck and ebony fingerboard, pickguard and adjustable bridge. Super comfortable ebony tailpiece. I think if the classic Loar design two point body with a scroll is the American equivalent to the Corvette, then the Giacomel design is equivalent to the Ferrari. He has given an Italian flavor even to the 'flowerpot' on the headstock and certainly to the classic scroll. Gold plated tuning pegs. This mandolin has great power and fantastic tone that has plenty of depth in the low end and develops nice reverberation at the high end. 20" Scale Length     1 5/16" Nut Width.   Gig Bag.
    Price:   $11,000.00
