Yes, yes, I know! Another mandolin. This one's also newly finished and what a beaut and what a sound!
This has that very old-time American bowlback sound down to a 't' -- precise, sustained, loud, clear, and with a lot of rich overtones. The Brazilian rosewood can't hurt, neither can the ebony fretboard, nor the aged-in spruce top! This mandolin was built by Lyon & Healy and bears an 'American Conservatory' brand in the canvas-lined bowl.
No Serial Number. Built by Stromberg-Voisinet in the late 1930’s, the Kay Kraft line included guitars, mandolins, and banjos. Over the years we’ve encountered many four and six string guitars, tenor and 5 string banjos, and a number of mandolins.
This was one of their mid-range lines, though compared to what could be considered mid-range today, this thing's tops! Hi there, Am I ever glad to find this thread. I have a dearly cherished AC bowlback that I received for a birthday many years ago and enjoyed playing until the tuners gave out 4 or 5 years ago. I have been searching with out luck to find a replacement set. The reproduction tuners from Stew-Mac for the old 1920s Gibsons are just that much too long. Any suggestions?
I could redrill the headstock to fit the Gibson A style tuners but it kind of feels like butchery. I'd love to find original or reproductions that would fit. I guess the mini rotomatics would do in a pinch but I'm not sure there's enough real estate on the head piece to accommodate them.
Any recommendations for tracking down replacements? Thanks Lucas. Hi Jake, Don't know if you'll remember me but I was the guy restoring an AC mandolin that needed tuners etc. How to open ptx file.

I finally had to fill in the headstock, laminate the front and back to cover repairs, and finish it with nitro cell. It looks great and sounds good too!
Only one problem that I hope you can steer me in the right direction on. After tuning and playing for a few days the back has developed a separation between two of the pieces of rosewood that the back is made out of (between two pieces of the rosewood and the binding / filler that is almost white in color in between them). I have no idea on how to patch that up.
It can be squeezed together and forced closed but requires a bit of pressure. How would you hold it while the glue dries and would it even stay? On guitars I would open the separation further (slightly though) and glue in a piece of the same material where the separation / crack is and cleat it inside. Is that the same with a bowl back instrument?
Sorry for the long winded comment but I am in need of some instruction from someone like yourself on this. Thanks in advance for your help.
Lyon & Healy Style A Professional Model Carved Top Mandolin, c. 1921, made in Chicago, serial # 1559, natural top, dark stained back and sides finish, maple back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, period black hard shell case. These elaborate and beautifully made mandolins were the only really serious competition Gibson ever faced in the high-end carved top 8-string market. Lyon & Healy launched this line in a blaze of publicity in the late 1910's and they were built (both under that brand and subsequently 'Washburn') well into the depression years. Using the finest materials and a thoroughly original design Lyon & Healy created a timeless classic in the Style A.
