Description

This Kay Kraft 2-Point Archtop Mandolin is a prime example of 1930s American lutherie craftsmanship, presenting in very good condition with signs of age that add to its vintage charm. Reflecting the era’s style and technical standards, this mandolin features a striking archtop design revered for its robust, resonant tone, suitable for nuanced classical and lively folk music alike. It is constructed from what appears to be mahogany with a rosewood fretboard, known for enriching the mandolin's sound with depth and warmth. The instrument plays excellently, as noted, with tuners that remain reliable and maintain tuning stability through performances. Its playwear is consistent with its age, showcasing its longstanding journey through music history while continuing to be a fantastic player with remarkable sound.
