An 8-string mandolin with a wooden body and floral inlay. - Type: Mandolin - Body Material: Wood - Decoration: Floral inlay - Bridge Material: Metal - Number of Strings: 8 Thank you for looking. ==To prevent fraudulent returns and scams, we will be video recording the packing process.== This is not because we suspect buyers, but to prevent trouble. We appreciate your understanding. This is a Suzuki Violin Mandocello SUZUKI MC-836, Made in Japan. Is it a mandola? As it is an old item, there are small scratches, but I think it has been kept relatively clean. There are two cracks in the body (one below the neck), and the pickguard is slightly lifted in some areas, but I think it would be fine if glued down. (I will not do any work on it, as the buyer may have their own ideas.) Please understand that this is an old item. The strings are old, so you may want to replace them. At that time, it would be good to polish the frets. It will be shipped in a simple case for an acoustic guitar, but this is not a mandocello case.
