16 string bowl back mando in UK- ornate

[NickR]

Also, in need of serious TLC which may be an understatement! It has double the number of strings I can cope with but it certainly looks amazing. I assume the name in Malta is the seller not the maker but Malta is very close to Sicily and Italy. This mandolin might just be a little "neck heavy" but as one would play it sitting down, you should not topple over! Merry Xmas, everybody!
