Built in 2001, this Sobell Octave Mandolin showcases the clean lines and refined construction the maker is known for. The Brazilian rosewood back and sides add depth and clarity to its voice, paired with a responsive top that remains articulate across the range. Previously owned by the legendary Butch Baldarassi, it carries a clear and documented provenance. This example remains in excellent condition, with minimal signs of use and no notable issues to report.Includes hard shell case.
