    Default Francesco Perretti & Figli 12 string restoration

    Hi. I just bought this mandolin . It saw it in a antique shop and I have been contemplating about buying , not sure why ... that’s how it starts , right ?!
    Soon I’ll have an army of mandolins and lutes .
    it It was an impulse buy . Don’t know much about it and not even sure if it’s repairable.
    Any help welcome .
    Thx

    I’m new here as you might have guessed. How do I add pictures ?

    Pictures are always helpful. Take a look at this.

    12 strings can be fun, but generally need a bit of restoration work as all that string tension tends to pull them apart
