Here's an opportunity to acquire a special pre-owned Campanella mandolin -- one that hasn't been on the open market before! This "Due," Campanella's sought after two-point model, was built by the owner for personal use and subsequently acquired by a local player who persisted, demanding to own it. It's been a professional touring instrument ever since, and is only available because the owner has transitioned to fiddle on a full-time basis. This mandolin features a striking, one-piece Sugar maple back from an old board unearthed at Shelburne Farms in Vermont. It's topped with European spruce, and it's been played -- so you can count on the sweetest, most open & powerful tone you're likely to encounter in one of Joe's creations. The mandolin shows signs of its usage: there are various dings scattered across its surfaces (please examine the photos carefully), and we've removed a Baggs Radius pickup, which left a minor dull area of finish where its carpenter jack was attached. While it's not an instrument for someone who demands mint condition (and in truth, no Campanella mandolin would be, since their ultra thin varnish finish and violin-style construction stray far from factory ideas of perfectionism), it is a fantastic sounding mandolin -- one we think would command the attention of any player who hears it. Priced with TKL hardshell case, which also shows the rigors of the road.
