Check out LaPlant mandolins. Great instruments, and the maker Lloyd LaPlant only lives about 10 miles from me. My brother had a problem with a bridge on his violin, and brought it to Lloyd. Lloyd removed teh bridge, sanded it down proper (a partial "setup" of a violin, I'd wager), and at the end of the process, my brother asked him how much it was going to be to fix. Lloyd only wanted to hear him play a song. He is great people, and makes amazing instruments.
