Re: Mandolin with bridge pins
Ovation mandolins have fixed, glued bridges, and while they don't have bridge pins, they do use ball-end strings held by slots in the bridge. They seem to work OK, as far as I've heard. Not quite sure why Washburn decided that a fixed pin bridge was "Celtic," but hey, whadda I know?
