介绍（中）	Gibson K-2型曼多塞罗，浅至暗红色日光浴饰面，序列号25254。K-2型曼陀罗有一个泪滴状的身体（就像a型曼陀罗一样）。曼多塞罗有一个雕刻的拱形顶部和背部，这一设计由奥维尔·吉布森于1898年获得专利。1902年，五位商人从奥维尔·吉布森（Orville Gibson）手中买下了这个名字和专利，并创办了吉布森曼陀林-吉塔制造有限公司（the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Manufacturing Co.，Ltd.）。椭圆形的音孔装饰性地装订着一圈镶木和第二圈象牙。乐器顶部和背面、指板和主轴箱周围的装订也是象牙状的。颈部使用桃花心木，指板由乌木制成，延伸到音孔上方。指板和颈部上边缘有二十四个珍珠母位置点的镍银纹。浮桥是一座现代化的替代品（原桥在本案中幸存下来）。曼陀罗的标准弦配置是四个音程中的八根钢弦，以中提琴的音高：C、G、D、a（曼陀罗下一个八度音阶）进行协调。镍银尾饰刻有"The Gibson"。独特的车头与卷轴形状相呼应。车身有一个常见于高端Gibson乐器的镶嵌"花盆"设计，以及一个写着"The Gibsons"的镶嵌。Handel机器四片式调谐器镶嵌有花朵图案。该仪器有一个安装在金属支架上的凸起的拾音器。
介绍（英）	Gibson K-2 model mandocello with a light to dark red sunburst finish, serial number 25254. The K-2 model mandola has a teardrop shaped body (like the A model mandolins). The mandocello has a carved, arched top and back, a design patented by Orville Gibson in 1898. Five businessmen bought the name and patent from Orville Gibson in 1902 and started The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The oval soundhole has decorative binding of a ring of inlaid wood and a second ring of ivoroid. The binding around the top and back of the instrument, the fingerboard, and the headstock is also ivoroid. Mahogany is used for the neck, and the fingerboard is of ebony and extends over the soundhole. There are twenty-four nickel-silver frets with mother-of-pearl position dots on the fingerboard and upper edge of the neck. The floating bridge is a modern replacement (the original bridge survives in the case). The mandocello has the standard string disposition of eight steel strings in four courses, tuned in unison pairs to the pitches of a viola: C, G, D, A (one octave below the mandola). The nickel-silver tailpiece is engraved "The Gibson." The distinctive headstock echoes the scroll shape from the body has an inlaid "flower pot" design that was commonly used on high-end Gibson instruments, as well as inlay that reads "The Gibson." The Handel machine four-on-a-plate tuners are inlaid with a flower motif. The instrument has a raised pickguard mounted on metal brackets.
