Looking for a bridge for my mandolin that I built, it's a canted top stromberg style. I would post a picture but don't know how. Thank you.

I would take out the two top screws & plug the holes with tooth picks straighten the tail piece re drill & install the screws & then you can answer your own question without guessing

Is DR the actual name of the strings I'm not familiar with them

Thanks to all the replys that's a big help/ I'm going to own one tomorrow. Thanks Les

What I really want to know is, can I record mandolin & then go back & record on the same trac or recording with guitar & then maybe ukelele is this possible ? Thanks

I'm thinking about getting an H4n digital recorder & I have a couple questions. Is it worth the price & if so can you record sound on sound. Thanks for any input

Get some polishing compound & see if you can polish it

I think I'm going to make my bridge & string it up this weekend. Jim I meant for the fretboard to join at the 10th fret I'll let you know how it sounds.

Why would you want to spend hundreds to have a neck reset when you could spend 9.00 for a new pair of strings & get the same results

glue them with CA glue to something the proper size put them in the drill press & sand them down, put a drop of acetone on it to get them off

Ivan thanks for the link thats an awsome site they have everything

I'll be using closed cell foam for the blocking & upholstery foam for the padding all covered in fabric of some type. Thanks for all the suggestions. Les
