    Re: Do I need a mandola?

    Re: Harmony Shutt style mandolin, maybe?

    Just to update everyone on this. I cleaned up the mandolin, restrung it and adjusted the bridge as best as possible. It plays and sounds great, but the action is still a little high for my liking....

    Re: Harmony Shutt style mandolin, maybe?

    The mandolin did have a neck reset at some point as there's evidence of a respray around the neck joint only. I'm actually wondering if they under compensated for the reset which is why the action...
