I have already bought the materials so will give it a go, if it doesn't look good this stuff is easy to remove and I will maybe get in touch with this person.

Interesting that it probably wasn't made in Italy, these little things that nobody will remember happened. I have been reading up on setting up the mandolin so whn I get the bridge back I will give...

I am sending the bridge away for repair so just the inlay to worry about now, I have ordered the materials for this.

Also this mandolin has a zero fret I wonder if this would make bridge placement more complex?

How would I check all this like I said before I am a novice at mandolin repair don't really know the terms and what they mean. I have messaged a luthier to ask for an approximate price but I am...

Great price! Would I just put these on In the same position as the old one or would I need to get it refitted though?

Didn't know that thanks for the information. This one is Italian and it is in surprisingly good condition except the problems previously stated, I guessed it was from 1910's-20's but I don't have any...

Hi everyone I recently bought this interesting mandolin in need of slight restoration. It is interesting because it is sort of a semi-bowlback. I need some advice on the repairs I need to make to it...

cool!!!;)

I will use wood glue in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:grin:

How would a small amount like that dampen the sound?

I was just using this glue for the struts so it would be strong. I will use different glue for all the other parts.

are you sure this will not cave in with no reinforcment?
(just a bit worried!)

I am not advertising gorrila glue.:disbelief:

It is called gorrila glue, and yes it is a tad foamy. The website for the glue... http://uk.gorillaglue.com/ Oh, and what do you mean by "flat end plates"

I will post a picture of the tuners soon.

Here they are. Sorry about the wait. 8291382914829158291682917

I dont think I could fix the tuners anyway. They seem to be jammed as the metal is all warped and bent. Probably better to just get new ones.

Going to just get working,good condition ones. This is my ad...

I think it is too wrecked anyway. The tuners seem to be stuck as the metal is bent. Anybody got a pair of old brass tuners they could give me for fairly cheap? This is my...

I thought of that but I didnt know if you could make or buy one.

The gremlins probably fixed it!:))

Thanks!

What is the difference beetween a jewellers saw and a hack saw

Could it be a tuner that has come loose? That was what happened with my guitar but I think you would notice if you were actually playing it at all!
