Thank you for viewing! ✨ #Posco_Musical_Instrument_Collection [Item] LOUIS PATTENOTE mandoloncello Flat Mandocello Mandoloncello Lutheir 12-string 12st No. 9931 Made in the 1960s This is a flat mandocello by Patenote, famous for its French gypsy guitars. It is no longer manufactured, so it is not available for purchase. It is a very rare 12-string (6 x 2) instrument. [Condition] This instrument was passed down to me by a senior member of the guitar and mandolin orchestra I have belonged to for a while. Patenote mandocellos themselves are rarely seen, making this a very rare item. The condition is also good, and my senior member took good care of it by having it regularly maintained. I have also had it regularly maintained since I received it, and it just returned from maintenance this month (strings also replaced). Therefore, you can start playing it immediately upon arrival. Being from the 1960s, it has a deep sound. I have played several good mandocellos, but nothing has compared to this one. Also, due to its specifications, it has a 12-string structure, which is also very rare. Overall, the condition is good, and there are no problems with the neck, fingerboard, or frets. There are almost no scratches on the body. As it is about 60 years old, I hope to sell it to someone who can appreciate it as a vintage instrument. [Accessories] Body only *No case [Packing/Shipping] As there is no case, I will carefully pack it in cardboard and ship it. The strings will be loosened for shipping. Anonymous shipping. Thank you.
