The "Mandobass", crafted in 1913 by the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Manufacturing Co., Ltd., is a striking example of early 20th-century musical instrument design. Its unique pear-shaped body and long neck, reminiscent of a mandolin, distinguish it from traditional basses. This instrument, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, showcases the company's innovative approach to stringed instruments, blending traditional elements with a modern aesthetic.
