I have been playing Mandolin since 2005. I have owned a Weber Yellowstone (I sold it but man do I miss it) and currently have a Kentucky 805. I recently purchased a Martin Backpacker mandolin. I have owned a Martin Backpacker guitar for awhile, and I love it. It sounds great for what it is, and travels on trips with me well. I bought the Backpacker mando on a whim. Is there any way to make it sound better? I don't expect it to sound as good as a full size mando, but my particular one sounds worse than other backpacker mando's i've heard. It seems real tingy sounding. Would a new tailpiece or bridge help? Perhaps move the bridge? I have searched all over the internet but have found nothing on the proper way to set one of these little critters up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, and God bless!
