Used Washburn M226SWK Mandola - Vintage Natural (with case)

Serial Number:  DC14050020

This used Washburn M226SWK mandola offers a warm, expressive voice with strong projection and a distinctly vintage character. With an A-point body, carved solid spruce top, and solid flame maple back and sides, it provides a bright, resonant sound well suited for traditional and modern styles.

The carved spruce top delivers clear articulation and an immediate response, while the bookmatched flame maple back and sides add natural brightness and carry. An ebony fingerboard and rosewood bridge support accurate intonation and smooth playability across the instrument.

The aged finish, rope binding, and distressed hardware create a worn-in aesthetic that complements the mandola’s traditional design. Its oval soundhole and classic construction offer a tone ideal for bluegrass, Celtic, country, and contemporary acoustic settings.

This mandola is in overall good condition with clean presentation and includes a fitted case for protection and transport.  There is a small crack visible where the tailpiece hardware anchors to the bottom of the body (see photo).
