OVERALL OPINION

MODEL very rare bass mandolin, made by Gibson Kalamazoo Michigan in the mid-1930s. These instruments taient utiliss beginners to the 1900s in mandolin orchestras, very popular in the days .. Note that this is not a bass (the first electric bass-fret-as the Precision Bass Fender invented by Lo in 1951) nor a mandoloncelle or mandolone (these 2 LATEST While low as mandolins, but double strings).
