I dug out an old mandolin that I hadn't thought of much in the last twenty or so years. Basically all that is left, that' worth saving, is the body and the tail piece. The tuning machines are gummed up, and broken. The nut is broken off, the bridge is long gone. I believe I paid $70 for it some 35 years ago. It is not a name brand.
I was thinking of fixing it up but was told that an instrument could deteriate to unplayable status if not played over a period of time.
Is it worth fixing up or should I stick flowers in the F slots and hang it on the wall?
