    Re: Budget Mandocello

    Doesn't cost too much to get the nut & saddle reworked.
    I have an Eastman and had the string pairing & spacing tightened a bit and now it's eminently playable.
    I think it cost me $50 & a trip to a...

    Re: Shout Out To D'Addario

    Same thing happened to me in the days of snail mail at an overseas location.
    They sent me a couple of new sets gratis. Been a loyal customer for all my mandolin strings since then.
