Hello everyone...
I am new to Mandolin Cafe but not new to string instruments (I play classical guitar). This is my first post and I come here today to seek your expertise and guidance regarding learning, practicing and care for a mandolin.
I recently inherited a mandolin and I'd like to learn to play. My wife's grandfather and his brother were good mandolin players back then. Her grandfather gave the mandolin to her mother and her mother gave it to her and she gave it to me.
Here are some pictures and some questions that I can't find on the internet:
- Luthier: Euterpia (?)
- Country: France
- Year: unknown. Approximately what year was it built?
- Under the main label there's a small one with the number 264 on it.
- I'd like to change the strings. What would be a good brand and tension for a vintage mandolin (medium tension?)
- Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for any help you can provide...
