Hey all,
I recently found a neglected banjo mandolin which has likely been sitting in bad conditions for a few decades. I don't know how to play mandolin yet but I'd like to do so in the future.
Apart from some more minor issues which I could sort easily, the main issue with the instrument is that the tailpiece is broken off. For now I 'fixed' it with a piece of tape since it's mostly decorative at the moment. But it's obvious that the instrument cannot be played like this.
Finding an exact replacement seems very difficult. Would I be able to replace it with a regular mandolin tailpiece? If so what kind would you recommend? I found out that most come with 4 screws (one big and 3 small) while I currently have just one big screw there. I'm a bit hesitant to drill more screw holes. Would it cause issues to just use one?
Thanks for the help & merry Christmas!
