I just picked up an A model mandolin from a guy in Nashville who is the son of the original owner. He said the mandolin was built for his father by Tut in the mid 70's. His father and Tut were supposedly friends. There are no markings inside. There is nothing in the peghead the kicker for me is that this is a quality instrument there is a repair sticker inside the mandolin where J.V. (Oldman) Johnston in Texas "voiced" the tone chamber in 1982. Is there a go to person knowledgable of Tuts work that can help me verify this thing? Thanks
