Anyone have an idea about the double point model in the above ad? My wife's cousin has one, but he's four states away and I have no way of evaluating it, except that it's never been out of it's case...
Benny mentioned that you can build up notches that are too deep with bone dust and super glue. Recently I learned that you can use baking soda and ca glue with good results. I can't say whether one...

I was also thinking along the...
Paul, I have the earlier, larger sound hole model. I raided the wife's cosmetics stash and found a suitable little mirror that I epoxied onto a stiff wire and looked inside with an LED headlamp as a...
Thanks, Rick. I'll poke around with a mirror this weekend and post my findings.
Thanks for the kind wishes, Jamie. As far as the mando goes, I'm a DIY kind of guy so this is something I look forward to tackling. Just want to be sure i'm approaching it from the right direction....
I bought it from a guy on Ebay, so it appears I'm on my own.:(
Hi folks- I'm new to the forum. Last year I bought a Chinese made Paris Swing D-hole mandolin on Ebay:
