Dave Hynds  Mandolin Luthier:   S W France

    FAQ
      Hello, welcome to my site. I now live and work, repairing mandolins and other floating bridge instruments, in S W France. I specialize in bowlbacks, 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.
