Details
W.A. Petersen is a noted builder/technician who specialized in handcrafting Mandolins and Bouzoukis. Building within the Celtic music tradition, these mandolins are uncommonly good for this style of music. This octave mandolin is no exception. In fact, thanks to the combination of Cedar Top and Solid Maple back and sides, it has a nice bubbly tone, delivering a powerful chimey sound that is very clear and balanced.
Originally, this Mandolin had a small fracture on the neck, behind the nut, but it has since been expertly repaired. The repair left only a minimal footprint and if you weren’t aware of the nature of the repair, you would be hard-pressed to spot it without it being pointed out. Otherwise, the Mandolin is in very good condition. There are a few instances of tiny play wear randomly dispersed throughout the top, but no particularly heinous instances of wear. The frets are in great condition and with an excellent set-up, this instrument is a joy to play. Includes hardshell case
