Nobody in Portland ever get that work done ?

That's a tough one Mandroid, do not take your Mandolin to the shop on Alberta St. 2 simple repairs there, both done badly. The 12th fret on Belmont refrets mandolins but are very expensive, they'd probably do an ok job. Maybe Seattle would be better. Good luck

Old Guy here retired and a 21 year old bought out his instrument repair Biz
seems like a complete reset of the stopwatch on skill accumulation, with the hand over .

thats why I asked about PDX and hoped players that lived there may respond.
I have a 22A4 to refurbish and have my wooden head Ukejo Ive been trying different strings on

to get a good Nylon GDAE, had been using classical Guitar A * for the G, but low E gives a better tone,

So Im Thinking a zero fret conversion would be better as the big winding wire causes it to hang up when tuning,

and a zero fret would not do that..

* martin baritone uke low string the same used 3 of that 4 and sub a soprano 1 st/4th (as thats the same string)

In Seattle, Cat Fox/Sound Guitar Repair refretted a mandola for me and did a wonderful, smooth job.
