About the product: This is a mandolin from Suzuki Violin, the leading manufacturer in the mandolin world, and is a model that is just below the top-of-the-line. This is a numbered model from before the current M-100 was renewed, and is a very rare piece that is not often seen, so it is recommended for collectors. With the same specifications as other companies' products, the cost performance is excellent, costing around 300,000 yen. Furthermore, the head is the same shape as the current M-150, which is a characteristic of the old model (the current M-100 has a simplified scroll head). High-quality, jet-black rosewood fingerboard is used, and the fingerboard end is cut like a high-end product, and you can feel the romance in the selection of materials and design. About the sound: The potential of the instrument has been maximized by careful playing. The sound is as complete as the top-of-the-line M-150, with a deep and rich resonance. The technical ability to OEM the high-end Shimada mandolin is not just for show. About the condition: There is some discoloration on the top due to aging, but the string height is in good condition, around 1mm at the 1st fret and around 3mm at the 12th fret. The neck joint and pegs, which are prone to damage, have not deteriorated in accuracy, and the frets have about 80% remaining. Unfortunately, some of the plastic position marks on the side of the fingerboard are missing and have shrunk over time, but overall, I think it is in the category of a beautiful item. Please check the photos for details.
