Description

Nice old bowl back mandolin by Pietro Mazzini Of Naples. It also has the number 104 on the label

Needs a good clean. Sound hole has sunk a little near the fingerboard. I understand it is not massively difficult to do this repair but it is sold as needing repair. Hence the very low start price.

Please note the following which applies to all instruments sold 

Postage Costs



If you are bidding from overseas please click the "Payments and Postage" tab above and enter your country 
then click "Get rates" to be informed of postage cost etc


Depending where you are you may have import duties to pay on top of your purchase price

will have other violins or bows on ebay for a while so please check back from time to time

One thing worth remembering is historically vintage violins have been one of the best best  investments out there as they have 
consistently increased in value. Whereas a modern instrument  basically looses value through time.
