So I just bought a Weymann Mandolute #35 from eBay. It arrived in very good condition, but the bridge needs adjusting. Before I mess with it, I wanted to ask the forum if they know of any reason why the bridge is tilted like this?
In the photo you should see that the bass strings are much higher than the high strings. It makes chording very weird. Is this some classical/vintage phenomenon I should know about, or did some Joe Wanna-Be-Luthier saw up the bridge somehow?
I don't want to harm but restore.
Thanks!
