"Hmmmm your not the only one to say that Richard , Re setup.There,does not seem to be much confidence in Music shop these days re there ability to do things like in shop repairs and set ups.

The instuments fine for a newby to the mandolin like me.When I get has good has you I,ll change it for a more expensive one. any thanks .
