Good. Moderate shelf wear. "A mandolin is a small, stringed musical instrument which is plucked, strummed or a combination of both. It is descended from the mandora. It has eight metal strings in four pairs (courses) that are plucked with a plectrum. It has a body with a teardrop-shaped soundtable (i.e. face), or one that is essentially oval in shape, with a soundhole, or soundholes, of varying shapes that are open and not latticed. The most common tuning for the mandolin is in fifths, the same as for the violin (G-D-A-E, lowest to highest). Guitarists may occasionally tune a mandolin to mimic a portion of the intervals on a standard guitar tuning to achieve familiar fretting patterns." -- Wikipedia.
