Re: Setup work needed
Welcome. There is a well known forum member that you can e mail who will send you a mandolin setup e book. His name is Rob Meldrum. Even if you don't want to do your own work, this is information everyone should have in order to understand mandolin geometry. Get a nice six inch metal ruler and a set of feeler gauges and see where you are in relation to optimal.
IMHO, you could very well need a fret level and crown to go from good setup to a great setup. If you need to drive a distance, see if you can make an appointment to do a while you wait setup.
