Dear NG,
I played several hand made mandolins yesterday. Not much on the little details, but great volume, tone, etc. Sitting with the builder, he tells me he assembles the mandolins with epoxy. That said, there is not one joint on the instrument that will be unglued. I see this as a good thing (i.e., no seam separation in the decades to come) and a bad thing (how could you ever perform surgery).
Comments?
Thanks in advance.
