What a beautiful instrument, and such a shame it’s not being played any more…

I think this mandolin is handled regularly because it’s in a “living museum” where the artifacts are openly displayed. It’s a wonderful place to spend a Sunday afternoon!

The desk is pretty nice too, not just the mandolin, Di
