The first Photo Kind of reminds me of one I have. Go to my site (musikchoo) and look for it. I posted it early in my list. Does your Mandolin have a rounded Back??
musikchoo, yes, the mandolin in the first picture has a rounded back. It's really quite lovely in the fless with all its inlay and everything.
I received a message with some info on what I think may be Your Mandolin. Go to my musikchoo site and click on my Mandolin and read it. My Mandolin has Different info inside the Body.
Thanks.
