| Restoration Mandolins: ebay | |||
|
Hi Dave, Mandriola arrived yesterday lunchtime
thanks ever so. Fascinating
sound; makes me want to turn to 9/7 time. I'll
play it for a good spell and see how I get on with that monster bass G,
but I might end up asking you to make me a new nut and saddle to take a
standard G string.
Thanks again. French post was amazingly speedy, bearing in mind
what's going on there. Hope
the weather's better in my favourite part of the world than it is here.

Hi Dave, Just to
let you know that the mandolin has arrived! very quick!!! I have
just unpacked it, and it's simply beautiful  The
mandolin is a surprise Christmas present for my husband, so I'll now have
to pack it away carefuly until christmas day! he's wanted a mandolin since
he was a young boy (His parents made him to play the flute!) so he
will be overjoyed. Thankyou so much, I'll let you know how he gets on with
it after Christmas. Also could you maybe advise me on the best type of
mandolin tuner to buy? Many, many thanks and best wishes, Lindsay (Wales)

instruments. I don't understand nothing of instruments but I have to
admite that the work is great
also my brother in law, Antonio, very expert, is very satisfied of the
quality of the restoration. so I have to thank you very much for your work
I hope to meet again in the future in the internet and in the real world,
thanks Amadeus (Napoli, Italy) |

Hi Dave, just to let you know the mandolin arrived safe
and well on friday!! Sorry didn't let you know sooner, I've just come back
from uni and my mum had signed for it. I must say it's absolutely
brilliant! Far exceeded my expectations. I'm so pleased with it so thank
you very much!! A lot of care and effort appears to have gone into it from
you and you should know it will be looked after well. Thank you once again and best wishes for
christmas! Kind Regards, Lauren (Bury UK) |

Hi Dave. Mandolin arrived

Hello David, I find
the restoration very correct. I am impressed by the result on the neck
and good height for the strings. The bridge is little bit higher than it
was, but it doesn't seem to disintegrate it, i find now an
attractive and bright sound. Cleaning and varnish give it a new age,
it's pleasant. Hope it will have a long & new life in my hands.
Thank you for some
more on the case ! i had begun some repair but stop it a couple of
months before.
And with all my
bests wishes for this new year !

Hello again, thank you for all your help in sorting out my
wife's mandolin, it arrived at the weekend and she is absolutely
delighted with it. I've posted you some feedback on ebay, and just

Best wishes for the Christmas season,

Hi Dave, the mandolin (+ strings and book) arrived safe and well
yesterday and looks wonderful. Happily my guitar/violin background
has allowed me to make some reasonable sounds already and I'm looking
forward to exploring the instrument and its repertoire. Good luck with your future restorations - I'm sure we will speak again. Best wishes Nigel (Oxfordshire UK) |

| Hi Dave, I retuned the waldzither today, and surprisingly, the tuners weren't as stiff as before. Maybe it's been due to the instrument been in playing tension for a week ? Only the lower C courses gave me a hard time, I will try bicycle oil on them. Just wanted to say I'm pretty pleased with this instrument. See you around on ebay.

Hello Dave, The German mandolin arrived this morning, safe and sound - quicker than I had expected. The box and packing did their job very well. I've tuned it up and all is well. I have slanted the bridge just a little more to give a better G string octave All I need to do now is play it! Now that you have done such a good job restoring this mandolin I will try to give it a good few more years of musical life. Best wishes Bill (Hereford) |
