Carlo Sartori mandolin (Calace Style) from 1924

Carlo Sartori mandolin made in 1924.

We feel the inspiration of Raffaele Calace in this mandolin.

And one of Calace's most famous students/workers was none other than George Garofalo.

And it is the latter who will manufacture this mandolin here offered for sale, under the Carlo Sartori label, in the purest Calace style, very reminiscent of the 24 model.
