Thanks Richard I will bring it along to the next sess.

My Mandolin has a adjustable Bridge with wheels but I find it a fiddly affair so I have purchased a standard Mandolin Bridge from a Chinese Musical instument shop in Camden. after paying £4.50 for the bridge the China men said "You have to carve it to shape .velly Ticky. I thought " Thanks for that.

I had a brief look at your Mandolin at the last sess and your Bridge is much lower then mine and the string slots are very deep. Mine are non excistant a hairs width in depth.

I am progressing very well with chord changes but it will not stay in bloody tune so its holding me back.

I guess its my fault for going to a Mandolin without knowing much about them.
I like it and of course wont burn it at Knockholt has I said threads back but its so frusterating. I will pay for it to be set up properly if thats what you advise.
Cheers Pete
