This is an affordable model from Shimada Mandolin, which already has the reputation and dignity of an established brand. This is a player's condition instrument that you'll want to use frequently. Recommended for students in music clubs and beginners to intermediate players! About Shimada Mandolin: A high-end brand supervised by the master mandolin maker, Shigeru Shimada, and the performer, Shogo Miyatake. 【Specifications】 Top: Spruce - Engelmann Spruce Back: Maple - Maple (ribbed) Fingerboard: Rosewood Neck: Maple Head: Napoli type Matte satin finish Estimated retail price: ¥190,000 (including case and tax) This model appears to be a higher-end version of the Type-1 model, featuring a round back with carved ribs and decorative carvings on the armrest. The sound quality, with the brilliance of maple and the hardness of the rosewood fingerboard, seems well-suited for solo playing or 1st parts. Shimada Mandolins are produced in small numbers and sell quickly, making them difficult to obtain. Furthermore, the OEM manufacturer, Ena Mandolin, has gone out of business, making them even harder to find. Don't miss this opportunity! The frets have about 70% life remaining, and there are no dead spots at this stage. The instrument is in good playing condition. The string height is around 1mm on the low E side and less than 3mm on the high E side. There are some age-related scratches. Please take a close look at the photos for details. Accessories: Super Light Case Will be packed and shipped with the case. Type: Mandolin #Mandolin #Colorce #Mandola #ShimadaMandolin #AngelMandolin
