I bought this from an instrument builder in Hanoi, and am very pleasantly surprised with how it sounds and plays. There were quite a few instrument shops around the city with mandolins, guitars, and violins with a wide range of quality, but this guy was a real craftsman who took great pride in his instruments.

The luthier's name is Do Viet Dung, here's his website if anyone is interested:
