Suzuki - No. M-215 - - 曼陀林琴 - 日本 - 1973

Mandolin, No. M-215, 1973 – Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd.

This vintage mandolin, model No. M-215, was crafted in 1973 by Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd., a renowned instrument maker based in Nagoya, Japan. The instrument comes with its original hard case, which is fitted with latches but does not include a key. While the case shows some peeling on the bottom (as shown in the photos), the mandolin itself is in remarkably clean condition for its age, with minimal signs of wear and excellent craftsmanship.

The tuning pegs are in excellent working condition, with almost no rust, and they turn smoothly. The strings are aged and should be replaced for optimal playability. This mandolin displays fine woodwork with an ornate rosette around the sound hole, a beautifully curved back, and a well-preserved body. For collectors and musicians, this piece represents the lasting quality of Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd.

The inclusion of the original case highlights its value as a cared-for vintage instrument. Despite some exterior wear, the case still protects the mandolin effectively and is a testament to the instrument’s longevity.

For anyone who appreciates the history of Japanese craftsmanship, this mandolin is not only a functional instrument but also a beautiful collectible. As the seller, being from Nagoya myself, it brings me great joy to present this piece of musical history to a new owner.
