Calace Mandolin Calace Classico A Year 2000

This is a top-class mandolin from Calace, a long-established Italian mandolin maker. Made in 2000.
Currently, a new one from a specialized mandolin store would cost around 1.2 million yen.

This is an Italian Calace mandolin, loved by mandolinists worldwide.
With 200 years of tradition, Calace mandolins resonate exceptionally well, allowing players to express their sound clearly even in concerts.

The Classico A is Calace's highest-end model, characterized by its scroll headstock.
Inheriting 200 years of accumulated traditional craftsmanship, it is the ultimate model that all mandolin players aspire to own.
The Classico series is known for its sound projection, making it easy to play even in large halls. Among the many variations of the Classico A, this is the most orthodox model.

There is some age-related wear. As shown in the photos, there is one crack in the tortoiseshell inlay on the top. The neck is not warped. The strings have been loosened for storage to reduce stress on the neck and will be shipped as is.
The case is a hard case with signs of use due to its age. Please consider it as protective packaging.
The fingerboard has been cleaned, frets cleaned and lightly polished. The body has been cleaned and treated with oil polish.
We recommend having the mandolin adjusted to your preference by a specialized mandolin store after purchase.
The case will be shipped with air cushioning inside and outside.
As this is an expensive instrument, hand delivery is also possible. We can discuss this if you are within the Kinki region.
Please propose a specific amount in the comments for price negotiations.
Thank you for your consideration.
