Description

Paris Swing Mandolin, a beautiful instrument and amazing sound. In our opinion better than a Gibson sound, are you looking for that Gibson sound without the frightening Gibson prices!? Look no further, the Paris Swing Gipsy Mandolin has in our opinion a better sound than a Gibson, it plays better and the sound is louder than some of those with electrics. In all one of the best you can buy. Not sure? Then come and find out you will not be able to put it down, it's a truly stunning pro mandolin.

This early Paris Swing is in great condition, as you can see, please check the pictures. The early ones were the best Paris Swings made and prone to the top face sinking making wrinkles either side of the sound hole and in due course ordinarily they become unplayable. The reason is the early Paris Swing mandolins were made by using similar internal supports like a violin and then when the extra loading and handling of 8 strings on the top face the face slowly collapsed and sunk down making wrinkles rendering it unplayable. But with this Paris Swing this was resolved, and resolved beautifully.

This early Paris Swing has been fitted with a perspex face lifter inside (see pictures) to correct the problem, the perspex strengthener runs from under the beginning of the bridge to about 2½ inches under the fretboard to the wood, and in doing so this mandolin has maintained it's original face top position for the last 12 years and has no signs of movement at all and it's great sound has been fully retained.

This is a beautiful instrument, and it comes with a hard case. Don't hesitate pick up this mandolin now!

Overall Size: 67.5cm Long, 26cm Wide, 9cm High.

Comes with a hard case as seen in the pictures. Please see all the pictures, what you see is the actual Mandolin that you will get.
