Hi there. The 590 I purchased in November really is perfect for me, but I have a question. I play her at least 1 hour each day, The voice has really come up, but, there's something just not up to speed. At least in my opinion. So I thinking it's the bridge. Set up the bridge using Rob Moldrum's Mandolin Setup book, I've moved it up or down making sure the strings doesn't buzz, and the action is where I think it should, but geez. So I'm thinking I should replace the "factory bridge" with a Cumberland acoustic bridge. I've heard nothing but good reviews of Cumberland, and it's not expensive so that's not the question, but before I buy one, thought I should ask to anyone has replaced one on their mandolin.
