Trinity College TM-250 Celtic Mandolin – All-Solid Woods, One-Owner "Closet Classic" with Mint Original Hardshell Case

Up for sale is a beautiful, one-owner Trinity College TM-250 8-string flat-top Celtic mandolin. Kept securely in its original hardshell case in a climate-controlled, smoke-free home music room, the instrument is structurally near-pristine. I am selling it in its honest, untouched "as-is" state with a bit of vintage music-room dust, leaving the final polish to its next owner. Includes its original, mint-condition plush-lined hardshell case.

For players of traditional Irish, Celtic, and old-time folk music, the Trinity College TM-250 is the absolute standard. Unlike standard archtop bluegrass mandolins, its flat-top design and oval soundhole produce a sweet, bell-like sustain and a wide acoustic spread that blends beautifully in session circles.

This mandolin comes from a single-owner private music room collection where it has been cherished and kept in storage for years.

Condition & Playability:

 Cosmetics: Near-pristine wood and finish under a light layer of storage dust. I have left the instrument exactly "as-found" and unpolished so the new owner can enjoy the process of setting it up and bringing back its full high-gloss luster.

 The Case: Includes the original Trinity College deluxe hardshell case, which is in absolutely mint condition. The latches are bright, the structural shell is spotless, and the interior plush lining is perfectly clean.

 Structure: 100% stable. No cracks, center-seam separation, warping, or lifting bridge. The frets show virtually zero wear, and the mahogany neck is arrow-straight.
