This 1928 Washburn Style 5281 A‑style mandolin, built by Lyon & Healy in Chicago, pairs remarkably gently aged tonewoods with classic A‑body dimensions for an authentic vintage tone. The instrument features a naturally ambered spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides, producing a bright, focused trebly response with warm overtones. The oval soundhole and A‑style body deliver a punchy midrange and quick note definition; the ebony fingerboard and peghead offer a smooth playing surface and crisp attack.
