Piccolo
Mandolin
Up for consideration is a vintage 1900 Neoploitan Mandolin by Ermenegildo Ferrari and original label and case -- a fine example of a turn-of-the-century piccolo mandoiln made in Naples. This is a very nice mandolin for playing upper harmonies in mandolin ensemble playing, or for instruments more suited for children and players with smaller hands. New, a few luthiers still make these, and the prices are around the $1500 range, so here is a great opportunity to own a collectable, vintage piccolo mandolin in good condition, and save about $1,000!!!
