Strident mandolin 1900's

€0
Typical of Neapolitan mandolin making, Stridente, one of the best known mandolin makers of the late 19th/early 20th century, made superb mandolins. In the pure style of Neapolitan manufacturing of the time, these mandolins are often rich in decorations and very delicate violin making.
This is a very quality model. The fingerboard has been changed as well as the bridge, to make the mandolin fully playable.
