1931 National Triolian Resophonic Mandolin. Walnut Finish. All Orig. OHSC!

Description

National Triolian Mandolin. Early 1930 model and first year of the Walnut finish. Steel body.
Serial # 245
For a 92 year old mandolin, condition on this one could be good to very good cosmetically, but excellent in structure and tone.
All original. No cracks, breaks or dents anywhere in body or neck. Original cone sounds great and
is loud, while having that great resonance. Biscuit and saddle in great condition as well.
Fretboard in excellent shape with very minimal playwear. Notice the original headstock decal in near perfect shape. If someone wanted to, could easily reset the neck on this, to lower the action higher up the neck. But it plays very well and easy as it sits. That’s always a personal preference thing.
This mandolin was lovingly played, with honest play wear on it. Where the paint has worn off, and misc.bumps and wear on the edges. Always great seeing a straight, unmolested and original National. It’s a good collector piece, but it certainly wants to be played. Selling as is, but think you’ll be very happy with this one. Comes with the OHSC, which is surprisingly in great condition considering. It suits its purpose and does its job very well. Feel free to give me a shout with any questions about it. Certainly open to fair offers. Thanks!
