C. Bruno & Son Style # 60 Model Mandolinetto, c. 1910, made in New York, NY, natural varnish finish, Brazilian rosewood back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, original black chipboard case.
Overall length is 21 3/4 in. (55.2 cm.), 7 5/8 in. (19.4 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 3/8 in. (6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 13 in. (330 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1/8 in. (29 mm.). Original and complete; this is a very well-made instrument and a better player than most of this type. The varnish has darkened to a smoky amber on the top and there is some widespread scuffing, scratching and checking, but no structural issues. Some light fret wear but a very playable piece, with a sweet and delicate sound. Includes an original 1900-style box case. Overall Very Good + Condition.
