Mandolines

Many reactions about where to buy these instruments. Alas, I'm more a collector though sometimes I'm willing to sell one of my dear ones. Please, if you have any further information regarding luthiers etc. please contact me at acakoevoets@kpnmail.nl

Luigi Vicentini Mandolin

Luigi Vicentini mandolin that can be dated around 1900.
A nice crackfree soundboard and a newly added
ebony fingerboard with abalone position markers.

This Vicentini was originally laquered this way.
The back has 21 ribs in flawless condition!

A nice detail of this Vicentini mandolin.
Note new extended ebony fingerboard.

Luigi Vicentini mandolin probably made
around 1900.
They can be found all over the world which
means that quality was there and therefore
business was flourishing.
A new extended ebony fingerboard has been
added fitted with abalone dots.

The back of this highly ornamented
Vicentini mandolin. Indeed, 27 ribs.
