In the simple but effective style of De Meglio, this Cesare Arosio mandolin was made in the 1910s.

This mandolin was made according to a patent applied for in 1896, which certainly concerns the additional soundholes on the ribs where the tailpiece is attached, as indicated by the iron mark on the top.

In a very good state of preservation and playability, with a beautiful sound, this instrument is sure to please enthusiasts.
