Found some of this on The Martin Forum.
I also seem to remember reading somewhere that Tony was such a CW fanatic that he actually made some guitar he had look as much like Clarence's as he could.

This is what I was going to say, it is a journey. I would pretty much bet money that a full contact CA bridge will improve any mandolin's response (that doesn't already have one) but in this case,...

Dug into "Still Inside" about this and it made it even more confusing to determine what it is, but it is not "The Antique", which he did not even have when he cut Rounder 0044...

Don't feel too bad; when they get in too big a hurry to allow the finish to dry adequately before they fit the bridge feet it can end up tearing a chunk of the finish right out of the top when the...

Now they sing around that Great White Throne

Stupid things are just broken pegheads and necks waiting to happen.
See above or just tie a length of rawhide lace to the strap end and then run it into the hole and knot it off inside instead.

Good one: Lots of folks said to get rid of it but you persevered.
Nobody ever put a Cumberland on and then said it sounded worse than before, and they can often give spectacular results like you...

You have nothing to lose to make sure it is snugged up and not loose or rattling. Snugging it up (if it isn't already) is not going to effect the neck relief.

Get a thin piece of paper and try to get a corner of it anywhere underneath the bridge feet. If you can the bridge is not making full contact. Check that the whole bridge is not cocked forward...

Good job cleaning out that old glue!
That could be a candidate for a successful back strap repair.

The truss rod channel at the break means there is not much "meat" left to work with to effect a proper repair (without taking heroic measures) This repair by Jerry Rosa is almost exactly what you...

Wipe down any joint surfaces with acetone before gluing to prevent oils contaminating the joint.

This triggered an old memory.
