Thanks for your comments. I am a classically trained musician, so music notation is how I roll, how I come up to speed quickly (I can hear music notation as I read it).

Some of the material under student I don't appear to have, at least not in that form, that's why I was wondering if it was new.
It is unfortunate I cannot edit my old comment. Not sure what I was thinking at the time, just because I can play that on the violin doesn't make it beginners violin music, what an insane thing to...
I bought the ones previously mentioned above, what is different about this?
Well, I only said the fret was a slightly wide on one side, no idea why the talk about loose frets, no sound distinctions with a small metal ruler, the frets seem firm enough.
When I said visibly,...
Would a guitar luthier be qualified to work on mandolin frets? I have a feeling it would be much easier to find a guitar expert than a mando expert.
As I was playing tag with my little problem today, I finally noticed something I had not seen before: the 13th fret is not visually taller, but it is visually fatter, that is, wider, slightly, on...
Thanks, is the content available as a single file download?
This one is interesting, apparently even more comprehensive:

Thanks for this suggestion. My main doubt about shipping my mandolin is that it is luthier instrument made just last year, so I am guessing it shouldn't need anything too major, hopefully. I would...
Thanks for your thoughts. I see no clear relationship between the question I posed and what you claim I am insisting on. I already said I am interested in a luthier, I qualified the kind I would...
Not what I meant at all.
Whenever I ask mandolin repair questions on different sites, I seem to attract people who insist on telling me what I should be asking and doing, has happened multiple...
Thanks for all the replies so far. Any recommendations on who could do this kind of work in the southern Ohio area near Cincinnati/Dayton?
Since I paid some serious money for this mandolin, I am...
Only 3 frets? That could prove a challenge, but with my small metal ruler, my untrained eyes observe no issues, but I would wonder if this test wouldn't reveal a problem across a bunch of strings? ...
A question for luthiers and repair people:
I find my mandolin sounds best at the lowest possible string height, as close to buzzing as possible without letting it buzz, but I get a problem at the...
Sorry for the rather late reply, for some reason I don't get email notifications from this site, was travelling, Covid, etc.
In addition to maudlin mandolin's helpful answer, I found a useful link...
Instantly clear, my thoughts exactly.
Thanks, that's exactly the type of thing I am after.
Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I don't get email notifications from this site.
More or less, though that's more of a beginners violin music.
Sorry, couldn't figure out how to delete the whole topic when I rediscovered the original discussion, then was called away from the computer for a while, so I replaced content with dots, how do I...

Thanks for all the answers, I guess I have to learn a bit of knitting . . .
On a 10 string mandolin, the C course is usually guitar strings, I just wanted something less harsh sounding this time around, didn't know about the lack of loop or ball.
Hello, I made the mistake of buying some strings with no loop and no ball, for a mandolin requiring loops. :whistling:
I could take the loss I guess, but I would like to find a way to install the...
