Is this thing junk. Looked it up but only few post here. Are they plywood and dull sounding.

Looks pretty junky. For a few bucks more you can get a Rover or The Loar A-style and be on your way to having a real instrument.

Between the wall-hanger value and the Gator case, maybe it is "almost" worth it?

[Bertram Henze]

The case is definitely the more valuable.

And you want to order it shaken, not stirred :cool:

The Martini brand name was a brand name owned by a local New Jersey music chain. They brought in all sorts of imported instruments with that name. A friend of mine bought one of their mandolins off eBay and was tickled pink that the shipping cost exceeded the price of the instrument.

At least you won't have to get a humidifier for it, 'cause everyone likes s dry Martini...
