    Post Looking for information on mandolin please

    Hi everyone, I have a mandolin from a deceased estate that I would like information on. I've attached photos, apologies for my ignorance but I know nothing about mandolins. It has a port for a plug of some sort. It is a stunning piece. I assume 'Ideal' is the brand, I can't find any info online. Thanks in advance for any assistance Click image for larger version.

    It looks like a bouzouki but I am sure there are those who can offer more info about it. I think that "Ideal" is the name of the pick up used in it.

    Yes, it’s not a mandolin but a pretty standard Greek bouzouki.

    The “Ideal” is a magnetic pickup have a look here - https://www.bouzoukiforum.com/post/ideal-pickup-8080422

    (Incidentally, I know not a lot about bouzoukis!)
