Re: Carl C Anderson Flat Back 1899
This is a very interesting mandolin. Great find!
Quite a few details in common with an unlabeled very deep draught 'boat back' mandolin that I have.
If the neck angle is good (and it doesn't appear to be too bad) the repairs here appear to be fairly straightforward.
I wonder how that extra depth effects the sound / tone?
I'll admit that it doesn't do much on my above-mentioned boatback.
