DEar freinds, a freind came by last week that had a beautiful bowl back mandolin. one side of peg head was broken, I told him I could fix it. he wanted to know where it originated and what is its value, he purchased it at a yard sale. The back is layers of Rosewood of some sort, very nicely polished, it has a scalloped rosewood wrap on bottom the top is spruce but has intricate scaloped pick gaurd and has small herring bone binding. inside only markings I could find is a small paper piece with faded writing that reads American conservatory does anyone know who built this and what is its value, the mandolin is in very good condition, the owner would also like to know where a case for this instrument can be obtained
Thankyou all for your help.................Dennis in Az
