    Default Where to buy a mandolin in Paris?

    I'm going to be in Paris for a few days next month, barring a new covid variant or the monkeypox really taking off, or, hell, these days a mecha attack wouldn't surprise me...

    Anyway, while I'm there I thought I'd shop a bit. I did my research, which involved reading a thread on this self-same forum from 2012 that called out Rome Instruments and Galerie Casanova. They were both already on my list.

    Have any other good stores or markets come along in the past 10 years?

    Thanks!

    Interestingly enough RF Charles has become Galerie Casanova. So M. Charles has been last active (on facebook) in 2020. Is there any information, if he just retired (presumably) or what became of him?

    Looking at Paris instrument shops RF Charles was my main window shopping place as I found the prices to be staggeringly high (but maybe not for Paris).

    I used to check the R F Charle website every so often and, one day, found it had changed to Cassanova - I suspect they simply sold out.
