Mandoline Tuning

Post by Fabio7007 »

Is there any sites on the web where the sound of an in tune mandoline is played one string at a time to help me try and tune mine.

Any help will help me play it as is so far out of tune at the minute.

Thanks.

It looks like this place may have it. I didn't try to download it though.

Ah, this reminds me of the old Zen koan: if a mandolin string is played on the Internet and nobody is listening, does it make any sound?

Just remember, the reason the mandolin has 8 strings is that you have twice as many changes as a fiddler of having any one of them actually be in tune!
