Here is an unusual guitar shaped mandolin. I have had similar mandolins in the past, but thay have had pictures on the back, also they have had unvarnished tops.
It made from all solid woods, spruce top, maple back and sides.
The label states ‘Patelli Picarra – Grand Depot of Musical Instruments – PORT SAID (Egypt)’.
The neck is straight with no fretwear (recently dressed). The action is very good and it has a good strong tone.
