Rare J.G. Schroeder Antique Bowl Back Mandolin - 1890s Rosewood & Spruce

Description: Title: Rare J.G. Schroeder Antique Bowl Back Mandolin - 1890s Rosewood & Spruce, High-End Craftsmanship Description: This is a rare and finely crafted J.G. Schroeder bowl back mandolin, dating back to the 1890s and made in New York, as listed in the Mugwumps Index of American Fretted Musical Instrument Makers (1892-1907+). Featuring a spruce top and an intricately constructed rosewood bowl back, this mandolin exhibits ornate detailing and craftsmanship. The headstock is elaborately shaped and bound, with engraved enclosed tuners, indicating its status as a high-end instrument. The mandolin has excellent action and a straight neck, making it a fine choice for both collectors and players. While the back is in very good condition, there is a minor opening beginning in the middle rear, likely due to Arizona’s dry climate; a luthier’s attention or simple humidification may be recommended. The original tailpiece cover is missing, and it was found without a case. This beautiful piece would be a gem in any collection of antique musical instruments. See photos for more details on its condition.
