"This mandolin, serial number 101, was the first of only three mandos DуAquisto built in his career. It features spruce, maple, ebony, and mother-of-pearl, and was never finished by DуAquisto himselfяit cracked during the building process and was finished after his death. It was restored by John Monteleone in 2008 to resemble DуAquistoуs other two mandolins."
