Worst case scenario is you plug the existing tuner holes and drill ones for your replacement tuners.

Mandolins typically don't have glued on bridges. Otherwise I don't understand what the jig offers that a ruler and a tuner won't do.

Alternatively you could have it fretted to a key like a dulcimer. That would greatly reduce it's usefuness and bring it's resale value close to $0.00.

You can use calipers or a good engineering ruler to measure as with wood shrinkage it is unlikely to be a standard size. It is generally safer to go with lower tension strings on older guitars.

Hi.

I have a Planet Wave string winder that has a string cutter built into the handle. Works for me.

I have an inexpensive phone holder in my car that clamps onto the air vent fine. It should work. Just do a web search for "car air vent phone holder" and you will find several options.

I have with upright bass. I look at chord charts and come up with walking bass lines. I try to visualize where the notes are as I do it.

To me a 50%0price drop is a big red flag. It could be worth the money but I doubt it. If you decide to sell it down the road you would have a hard go of it.

it is a common experience. Rather than putting it down for a while I would suggest try practicing something different. Maybe try doing some sight reading or finger exercises, working on more...

Another option is acetone which softens most binding material to the point that it will stick. Some rubber bands and a splint of wood can hold it in place.

There are string tension calculators available on the web. If you use the numbers from standard tuning you should be able to get strings that will give you the tuning you want at close to the same...

You may have to get some different strings or assemble your own set of strings but otherwise I don't see any thing to stop you.

I think that any good builder will make a very satisfactory base model. I think the idea of having something made exactly the way you want it and that it will be unique is very appealing to many...

Since select has no meaning in this case, I would assume nothing based on it. If an ad doesn't,t say it is a solid top, back or sides I would assume they are laminate.

Thanks for the suggestion
I looked at the D'Addario website for the Helicore's and saw that they seem to offer them only for the 3/4 scale and smaller. My mandobass is closer to the full scale (4/4...

As for the suggestion of Labella Supernil, like most nylon core strings, these are intended to give something of the...

Pictures as well as measurements can be a big help.

I expect a lot of people passes att he time without it making any records.

First I am seeing this too. Have you tried this: https://www.loc.gov/newspapers/?all=true&c=25&dates=1800-1899&fa=location:san+francisco%7Csubject:san+francisco&st=list

I don't have any recommendations but would suggest that you use a string tension calculator if you are looking at different kinds of strings. F lat wound strings frequently are of a higher tension. ...

I am not usually a fan of F style mandolins but that one is elegant and I like it.

Lyon is a budget line from whomever now owns the Washburn name. I doubt it would be better than the Rogue. A maple top is not desirable.
