F5 mandolin Revoicing before and after by Ron Stewart

Today I'm showing you a before and after revoicing of a late 70's Aria solid wood F5 style mandolin. Also showing the mandolin inside after I have taken it apart to explain why a vast amount of mandolins from the 40s to today sound thin and have no body to their tone.
DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF! This should only be done by an experienced Luthier or repairman that has done this many times before! If you do have an F5 solid wood mandolin that sounds bad or not how you like, contact me! I'll be glad to quote you a price. Also any instrument repair/set up/ revoice/neck set/Martin guitar brace scalloping/neck sets etc. I work on all acoustic instruments.
