1890-1896 Ricci bowlback mandolin restoration.

[R.J. Fulton]

 Just looking for some feedback on whom out there would be best qualified to do a restoration on an antique mandolin of this sort and how I might be able to get into contact with them?

 I'm just too busy these days with everything on my bench, and this isn't my area of expertise. I would like to refer my customer to the proper person.

Thanks everyone, and take care.

I usually don't like to steer folks away from one forum to another but I would recommend checking at Mandolin Café. There are a couple of good repair guys there and a bunch of others who specialize in these kinds of instruments. Look for Jim Garber.

Thanks Paul. I'll check it out.
