I have a Very  old round back mandolin in need of a little TLC.  The label reads  ' TORIELLI  GALIANO



                                                                                                                                    FABRICA  DEPOSITO MANDOLINI



                                                                                                                                                            NAPOLI                                                                                                                                            



     Can anyone tell me anything about this instrument.

Hello George,



I can tell you nothing specific about this particular mandolin, however, as I understand it Italian bowl back mandolins are pretty common.  A reasonable gauge of quality is the number of  individual pieces of wood that make up the back  - more pieces = higher quality.
