Another Weyman Mandolute
Friend of a friend at a local open mic asked me to look at a mandolin, which turned out to be two mandolins, actually. One is a somewhat recent Epiphone A that just needs a bridge replaced (it's actually broken) and setup, but the other has obviously been a wall-hanger for some time. A couple badly repaired open cracks and a couple more, plus the center seam on the headstock is opening. I've bagged it up with some homemade "humidipack" things to see if it moves at all, but it seems to be very well braced so not sure if the body cracks will close. Time will tell, I suppose. (Pretty sure I can get the headstock closed.)
My brief look at it while it still had strings on it makes me think it probably could be playable, but whether that's a worthwhile goal, I don't know. I looked at some archive posts and there's a lot of mention of model #s, but I didn't see anything inside this one.
