Hi there.
I'm brand new to mandolins, and to this forum.
I've just acquired a mandolin for free which is apparently a Radio Tone and had been sat in a loft for years. The middle aged woman who used to own it said it was her grandfathers so this is the only age guess for the instrument I have.
As it's been sat in a loft, it's not in the best condition. I haven't yet had chance to have a full look at it, but it's going to be my Christmas break project.
I know the bridge is currently detached and it has no strings.
As a complete novice, could someone also tell me what else to look out for in repairing it, and some other hints and tips please? If anyone could tell me any more about this instrument as well then I'd also be grateful.
Thanks very much
Stuart
