Re: repairing mandolin
No one can adequately tell you how to repair your mandolin if we don't see the problem. Depending upon the kind of neck joint it may be a simple fix that could be done by a non luthier. If it is not a simple fix it should be done by someone with the right experience to ensure it is functional and will hold. Putting a screw in the neck heel is likely the wrong way to fix it...even if it is a dowel joint. A dowel joint can be repaired, but it is a pain. In any case, good photos of the damage will be a real help to getting you the right information.
Have a Great Day!
