Musical Instrument Description: Mandolin for sale - Flatiron A-5 Artist Mandolin

Flatiron A-5 Artist Mandolin This Flatiron A-5 Artist Mandolin has a superb chop, and in the hands of an artist would bring enjoyment to everyone within ear shot.
Flatiron Mandolins were handmade in the U.S.A. by crafts-people who were dedicated to the art of lutherie, but Flatirons are no longer made.
Once owned by the Gibson co., Flatiron is now a closed shop. These exquisite instruments are almost completely off the market because
of their great sound and top level craftsmanship, and will only become more valuable and more difficult to find as time goes on.
