u/Agreeable-Change-400

I grew up playing violin but haven't touched one in awhile. My grandfather passed so I just inherited his father's mandolin. It has a crack along the top sheet and I want to find someone to professionally repair it. I live in northern California if anyone has any recommendations for shops. Also if anyone has good beginner book ideas or methods to learn to play. I would love to find a local teacher but I doubt anyone is close to me. Cheers!!!
