Description

Very nice all-original Loar period Mandola with Virzi.

A story about the original owner:

I called the store and they told me that they typically deal in electric guitars and rock instruments, but that an elderly woman had brought in several instruments belonging to her parents. Her parents had been performing musicians in Oklahoma back in the 30's, and that they toured a lot. When they came across nice instruments they would buy them, maybe using them later, maybe not.
