Champion fundraiser Joyce Long is always in tune with what customers at her charity shops will snap up.
These two mandolins, which belonged to the father of an elderly supporter, are sure to be plucked from all the other bargains when Joyce opens for business next Monday.
The shop, opposite the Zach Willsher pub in Church Road, Thundersley, will run until the following Saturday, May 13.
Joyce hopes to give a big boost to the £200,000-plus she has already raised for Southend Hospital.
Her latest mission is to buy a laser for the ear, nose and throat department.
