Larson/Bruno Rosewood Flat Back Mandolin

As would be expected of a Larson

great playing instrument with no

attributes for an instrument of

binding. Beautiful Brazilian rosewood

make it look right. On the positive
side, other than replacement
tuner buttons, the instrument is
very clean and comes with a super rare
original hard case. V.G+
