My koboz is broken!
Not literally, but it is currently in unplayable state. I had not the best idea to change strings in my instrument by myself, for which I was encouraged by relatively ease by which how I restring the mandolin, and I received new, very good quality set of strings designed especially for my instrument.
Unfortunately, I was wrong! Only becasue instrument is fretless, it doesn't mean changing the strings is trival matter! I changed them in wrong sequence, lost two sets of my super quality strings and scratched a little the surface of the instrument as result. Epic fail! I have already asked local luthier in Stockholm, Andras Novak, with whom I have very good experience, to help me with this matter. I will see in monday what will he answer.
In the meantime I observed also signs of use of frets in the mandolin. I will probably need the new instrument just to have something to play on then others are in relpair or conservation.
