Milanese Mandolin 1700 Model Vorraro

Mandolino Milanese modello '1700 Vorraro-vinaccia_10534206_745171818869281_12389244037292284_o

The Milanese mandolin has a character all its own: elegant, lightweight, with that silvery voice capable of crossing centuries without losing its charm. It is the instrument that knows how to be devotion and dance, aristocratic salon and tavern, artisan precision and folk poetry.
This model, inspired by an original from the second half of the 18th century, carries that whole world with it: ancient grace, the skill of the hand that built it, the softness of the touch that will make it vibrate.
An instrument that doesn’t shout, but conquers.
