Re: Was just gifted a 1906 mandolin
Congratulations! I'm sure you understand what a wonderful gift you've received. That was top of the line for that body shape.
Other people hereabouts will be able to advise you better than I about questions for the luthier. Photos will help them immensely.
But I might be able to give you some ideas about what songs in your preferred genre will work well with the instrument and some tips about how to play them. My tastes run along similar lines, and I've been at it for a looong time.
And welcome to the Café! That is a fine howdy-do, for sure!
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
