Re: Am i being unreasonable?
I am curious about some of the details. It came back tuned GDAE I take it—but, literally in mandolin pitch, or an octave lower as an OM? Did he restring it with regular mando strings? (I used to use plain old J74 mediums on my mandola, for CGDA, worked fine but hey you might want to know what’s on there.)
And…I know Cumberland Acoustics has a great reputation, if you ordered the bridge from them and told them it was for an Eastman dola, a well-known model, wouldn’t they at least approximately shape it for an Eastman top on request? You don’t often see a new bridge so far off proper seating that the gap is pretty much visible from outer space.
