Hello, I am selling a Moon standard model mandolin. It is constructed of curly maple, with a spruce top and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Pictures of this exact model are available on moon’s homepage (www.moonguitars.co.uk).
This particular example went unsold for approximately four years in a shop, yet still managed to accumulate enough pickwear on the top (surface wear - not through the finish, thank goodness) to warrant it’s being described as a used instrument. It is exactly the sort of thing one needs to play Irish trad, and merely had the misfortune to land in a town where hardly anyone does that sort of thing. The town is Freiburg, Germany, the current location of both myself and the mandolin.
Now, the bottom line: Moon sells these things for STG550, approximately EUR800 or USD1010, without a case. I am offering this one, with a hardshell case (flat), INCLUDING SHIPPING to the US, Canada, or any European country, for EUR600 or USD760. Please reply to me off the board, as per C&F policy.
