Dave Hynds Mandolin Luthier: S W France | |
||||
|
Hello, welcome to my site. I now
live and work, repairing mandolins and other floating bridge
instruments, in S W France. I specialize in bowlback restoration, mainly
German and Italian, though I do tackle others. I decided at the
outset to record my passion pictorially for the benefit of others
with similar interests. I hope you will find my site useful,
whether or not you are restoring an instrument of your own. I sell restored mandolins mostly through ebay, where you can find any instruments I am currently selling under dave17120 but also here. I undertake private mandolin repairs, and also buy broken instruments. I also build new instruments in the mandolin family, to order. |
