Martin Style-A Mando

Martin were a true force in mandolins, as you can see from this lovely 1955 Style-A. They had done pretty well with Mandolins since the end of the 19th century, producing a nice line in bowl-back designs that are still favoured by the classical playing bourgeois of today, and only started turning out flat tops in 1914, so of course by 1955, they were well up to speed, and turning out beauties like this fine piece. It's so good, it's almost like a femme-fatale, certainly as far as your bank manager is concerned. Of course, it's not mega money, but as soon as you sit down and play the first few tentative licks on it, you'll be drawn in to the magical tone and the smooth playing neck, and you won't be able to think of anything else. This piece has survived its relatively short life (compared to those earliest pre-war models) in excellent and original condition. We are selling with a hard case.
