I just got this mandolin and would like to know what the value is or who manufactured it. Any help would be appreciated. It doesnt appear to be ever used... I think because on of the strings was slipping they werent able to tune it. I fixed that problem by replacing the string.

Sure. These were imported under dozens of brand names and some with no brand name. Here (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?79118-Key-Brand-Info) is a thread with a dozen or so examples of the same mandolin. Unfortunately the value is not very much. Just realized this one has the brand name Granada.

Thanks Mike
I didnt pay very much for it so I dont feel too bad. Got it at a Goodwill store for $30. I found a Martin Uke in a Goodwill store once which is now worth over $1200. It is amazing how well this Mandolin is made and the quality of parts and wood.

For $30.00 you're doing fine.
