Gibson H1 Mandola Black, 1907

  Gibson H1 Mandola Black, 1907

Here’s a nice Gibson H1 Mandola, built during 1907 in Kalamazoo, Michigan and an expression of Orville Gibson’s genius. The Gibson H1 was built from 1902 to 1936. In 1896, Orville Gibson filed patents for the work he had been doing that merged violin family design and construction techniques with the Mandolin and Guitar families. Particularly in the case of Mandolins, this development rendered most previous designs obsolete.
