Re: Lyon & Healy Style A, B, C fretboard - all radiused?
The Italians may have got there first! Roman mandolins from about 1890, often had radiused fingerboards. They were a feature which helped make Embergher mandolins successful amongst professional players. Later makers in the Embergher style, such as Raffaele Valente and Pasquale Pecoraro continued the tradition into modern times. Lyon and Healy may have based their fingerboards on the Roman design.
