Gibson / Mandocello K2 / 1915 / Stringed Instrument

The Gibson K2 Mandocello was produced between 1902 and 1922. These were built much like their little brothers in the A style Mandolin family; with one small brace by the sound hole. This is a K2 from 1915 in an exceptionally clean and all original condition! The K2 consist of a spruce top with maple back and sides and a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. In 1908 this model got its elevated pickguard with cutout at the bridge and the engraved tuners and fleur-de-lis and 'The Gibson' logo inlay at the headstock. The extended fingerboard at the treble side was added in 1912. As if it had come out of a time capsule, this mandocello still has all those original appointments. Moreover, this K2 is also exceptionally clean with only some small dings and traces of use. The body shows a beautiful weatherchecking pattern and the body binding on the back is a little bit loose at one spot. For an instrument of over 100 years old, this means it is in near mint condition. Comes in the original case with TFOA passport. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
