A German Democratic Republic mandolin, for sale. 

 

I have played it occasionally for the past 25 years, but have now upgraded to another mandolin. 

 

To be fair to any prospective buyers, the action is a little high, and having no truss rod on the instrument makes it difficult to lower further. 

 

Moreover, the tuning pegs a perishing, and some have been repaired. 

 

This would be a good instrument for anyone wanting to try out the mandolin.

That's very tempting, but I can't be going around buying myself presents with Christmas on its way. If nothing else, I'm turning 40 soon and it's entirely possible that my wife may have gotten me a mandolin. 

 

My dad used to have the bowlback version of the same mandolin (with that stenciled on graphic on the front). Also with a bowed neck. It probably wouldn't be too hard to take the fingerboard off and rout it for a carbon fibre rod.

At this rate, I will still have it on Boxing Day, and you will know by then if you will have been gifted a mandolin.

 

Happy 40th, by the way.
