you sure that tailpiece is original? most of those old gibsons had a weird pegged tailpiece with celluloid tortoiseshell on it.

have you seen this series of youtube videos? fairly mandolin-centric, but they play a whole bunch of gibson instruments from the teens and twenties.

check out the other videos if you haven't already. the one of 'whiskey before breakfast' played on two mandocellos is my favorite.
