At a 33% discount (one third savings on all new-to-excellent quality items), I would like $1,500.00; you save $700.00 on this fabulous double instrument package.

I will certainly entertain splitting the items up if it comes to that; however, I will attempt to sell this as a set on eBay before splitting it up. Someone looking for a good mandolin with the added tonal bonus of the banjo mandolin would be in for a good deal here.

I will have photos available by January 3rd. If you'd like me to email you photos, please email me here:
