I have just taken delivery of my latest project - a Lombardic or Milanese mandolin by Ant. Monzino with a minor structural issue. I would be grateful if anyone could give me any guidance on the date of this instrument:
The label in the last shot says '5202' and would originally have been covered, presumably by a slab of MoP.
Also a couple of bits of further information: It has a hole in the end. Does this mean it should have an endpin? If so, what should it look like?
Finally, I would appreciate any guidance on string gauges for the standard GBEADG tuning.
Thank you
