Suzuki Mandola The label inside the sound hole reads: No. 501 1965 I purchased this used over ten years ago. It has been hanging on a wall-mounted neck holder. In terms of being able to play it without issue, the overall condition is not good. The neck condition is poor. Some of the pegs are stiff. There are also scratches and dirt. As it is, it's quite difficult to play, so please consider this a junk-level instrument. No claims and no returns accepted.
