Hi folks ,

Not mine , but a friend had a 25 year old small Martin that had developed a bulge around the bridge.  I’ve suggested a luthier rather than attempt anything himself - woukd this be right and if so does anyone know of a good one in south London please ? 

Picture below (and thanks all)

    I didn’t even think of Feline for an acoustic tbh - it would be great if they could help as the bloke is just up the road in Herne Hill

    A bit of belly is quite normal...but that looks like the bridge is lifting.
