Mandolin: Restoration Parts
One of the many problems with the idea of restoring an old
mandolin, is replacing missing parts, because in most cases, these parts are no
longer made. It was for this
reason that I started making replacement parts for my own restoration projects.
Over the years I have also managed to find suppliers for most of the
materials needed, if not some period style parts.
I have small quantities of some of this stuff, and commercial contacts for other bits, let me know if I can help, but no guarantees. |
