It looks to be a Fitzroy banjo ukulele.

Turning the bridge base 180 degrees while leaving the saddle in its current direction solved the problem for me on my Lebeda Mandola.
A quick search came up with this:

Thanks guys. We are tethered to the Portland area as we are caring for our school aged grandson (5th grade) while my daughter is away on business. I do play guitar so I may check out some of the...
Hello, We are spending a week visiting my daughter and grandson in Portland OR. Any recommendations for mandolin friendly stores in the area. Thanks for any suggestions.

Um, if she is a mandolin player, why does she not have her mandolin? I know times are hard now financially for some folks and that might be the reason, but if not, why is she without her favorite...
Here are a couple of photos of the Osborne Brothers with Dale Sledd taken at BeanBlossom in 1968. I was a student at Indiana UniversityBloomington and made frequent weekend trips to Bill Monroe's...
I wonder if the mandolin underwent a refret at some point. The pits in the fingerboard indicates it had the dickens played out of it but the frets look pristine for a mando of this age.
Is there a roster for the Munier Mandolin Orchestra? Perhaps you could discuss with the orchestra’s director/leader as to who may have taken it. Just a thought or perhaps you have done this already.
Don’t forget to listen to Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. His “Tennessee Dream” album has some great instrumentals. Any of his many albums contain very traditional style bluegrass music.
There is a nice version on Mandolessons.com with video tutorial as well. The sheet music/tab is downloadable for free:

I agree with the second part of MikeEdgerton’s last post. I am looking to replace some Grover butter bean tuners on my Martin 00-18 with Waverly tuners and lo and behold StewMac no longer gives...

Are you using the Target Coatings that Peter recommends and if so, which product? Thanks.

I had the same problem and solved it by putting a thin layer of superglue on the end pin all around the shaft. Let it dry thoroughly and then put it in place and see if it holds. DO NOT GLUE IT INTO...
