Mandolins: Bandolim by Antonio Pereira Cabral
German flatback mandola by unknown maker converted from a descant Waldzither
Re: Gourd-backed mandolin
That is what I'd call a vegan mandolin. My definite preference over non-vegan kinds such as armadillo and such.
Re: Gourd-backed mandolin
You had the wrong link. That lot is linked here.
Oh, I see... it shows a thumbnail. If you click on the photo it goes to the lot page. Lot #456.
What could be even worse than a standard mandriola? Perhaps a gourd-backed one?
