I have a lower end mandolin, my first one. I want to find a place either on Long Island or in Manhattan that could do the set up for me. I've fiddled with it a bit to remove some buzzing, but it still happens and I think that a proper set up may help. Anyone know of any places?
Thanks

Bob Jones, in Manhattan, is great, but probably too busy. So is Flip Scipio. Good comments, however, about these folks:

Contact Mandolin Brothers, Staten Island.

Both of the above will probably charge more than a low end mandolin is worth. If you are in Suffolk County, try getting intouch with Buddy Merriam. Great monroe style mando player I think live in the Shirly area. He should at least be able to recommend somebody. You can find him on the web.
