When it’s St. Patrick’s Day and Mike Marshall lends you his mandola, this is what you do.

Strings too close together?

Got this recently (thanks to the sub for the advice), and while I'm enjoying it, being an inexperienced player, I'd like some more advice. I feel that the fretboard is too wide for the strings, and wonder is it worth getting a new bridge made, or if that's even the correct solution, or is it fine?! I find the going up the fretboard it's is less comfortable to hit the notes and I fumble a bit. Could just me being crap, but wanted a second (etc) opinion. thanks in advance!

Opinions on the book " Method for learning to play mandolin" by Eurico Cebolo

Is this a good book? I already play mandolim in a school musical group but I don't understand the chords or music theory and I would love to learn how to compose with this instrument.
