    Re: mandolin bridge

    Got a new bridge. It has a gap in the middle. Do I sand the feet down right to the gap? Its a long way to go.

    Re: mandolin bridge

    This is a 100 dollar Saga kit mandolin I put together that is over 10 years old which sounds pretty good. Actually better than the Eastman 515 mandolin that I never play. Not looking for a neck set.

    eastman

    Are Eastman mandolins better than they used to be? I have one from 2005 that i never play. Very thin and quiet even after set ups and new cumberland bridge. Gave up on it. Wonder what its worth.

    Eastman 515

    I bought an Eastman 515 in 2005 and never really liked it. Thin and low volume. Bought it online because they were all the hype then. Haven't played it in 10 years. Not even strung up. What are the...

    Longer bridge screws

    Can I get longer bridge screws either from a music place or just a hardware store? My neck is a little off and my truss rod won't move.

    Re: Identify Cumberland bridge

    I think this came off my Eastman and the Cumberland went on the Eastman. The Cumberland will now go on my kit mandolin. I think I might need longer screws. Is that possible?
