This lot contains a vintage Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd. mandolin, model No. 225, made in Nagoya, Japan in 1968. The instrument has a classic teardrop-shaped wooden body with decorative soundhole rosette, dark pickguard, and ornate tailpiece cover. As this is a used item, there are scratches, stains, and wear throughout. One of the string adjustment/tuning parts appears to be missing. Only basic functionality has been checked, and the accuracy of the tuning or sound quality has not been professionally confirmed. Therefore, this item is sold as-is. Please carefully review the photos for details of the condition. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. Heavy items may be shipped by sea, which may take 1 to 2 months to arrive. The shipping method may vary depending on the item price and size.
