Hi all

Sorry if this is a silly question.... I have an Ashbury AM10 mandolin which I am preparing to sell. I wondered, is the bridge supposed to be fixed to the body or is it supposed to be held on simply by the tension of the strings (so that it would fall off if the mandolin had no strings)?

Cheers

Max
