介绍（中）	Gibson A-4型号曼陀林，具有浅至深红色的日晒饰面，序列号39051。吉布森曼陀林的A型有一个没有尖端的泪滴状身体。曼陀林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.）。A-4型号的曼陀林比F型号的便宜（带卷轴）。椭圆形音孔由一圈镶嵌木和第二圈象牙构成。乐器顶部和指板周围的绑定也是象牙状的。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）。曼陀林的标准弦配置是四个音程中的八根钢弦，成对调成小提琴的音高：E、a、D、G。镍银尾饰刻有"The Gibson"。桨形的墓碑上镶嵌着鸢尾花和"The Gibsons"字样。Handel机器的四合一调音台上镶嵌着花朵图案。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 A-4 model mandolin with light to dark red sunburst finish, serial number 39051. The A model Gibson mandolins have a teardrop shaped body with no points. The mandolin 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 A-4 was a less expensive model mandolin than the F models (with scrolls). The oval soundhole has decorative binding of a ring of inlaid wood and a second ring of ivoroid. The binding around the top of the instrument and the fingerboard 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 mandolin has the standard string disposition of eight steel strings in four courses, tuned in unison pairs to the pitches of a violin: E, A, D, G. The nickel-silver tailpiece is engraved "The Gibson." Paddle-shaped headstock is inlaid with the fleur-de-lis and the words "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.
