Endelig er det lykkedes mig, at finde en tuner, som er til at forstå og som samtidig er rigtig god.Har spillet mandolin i 45 år og er stadig vild med det. Tusind tak for at jeg må bruge denne tuner. m.Vh. Frank

I'm Playing mendolin for the last 25 years. You have added execllent tuner. Many many thanks

I'm a music teacher and don't play all the instruments myself. This site has allowed me to keep my demonstration instruments in tune and show kids what these instruments really sound like!! Thank you

E String is one Octave too high. Beware unless you like breaking strings. The other notes are good.

My wife me a mandolin for my birthday and i had no idea how to play the thing,but i will learn because ido play the guitar alot sometimes.All i need now is some lessons some chords to practice and i'll be on my way.Thank's for your help.Music is in my blood and i love it,so once again THANKS.

Thanks for providing this tuner system. I'm new on the mandolin and this is a big help.

Placement of the bridge: the distance from the inside of the nut to the 12th fret should be the same as the distance from the 12th fret to the inside of the bridge (saddle). By "inside", I mean the contact point of the strings on the playing side. Another way of describing this: the total playing length of the strings is exactly divided by the 12th fret. My mandolin is 175 milimeters from nut to 12th fret. So, I should set the bridge at 350mm away from the nut, or 175mm again from the 12th fret. Remember, use the playing edge to measure.

Thanks, cool little tool. A lot of people are complaining about this being out of tune.

One thing to remember is that if your strings (or mando) are new, as you tune up the lower string the higher will pull out.

This tuner may not be perfect, but come on..... it's pretty good.

Get your top string in tune and tune your bottom strings up to it.

Proper bridge placement is also important on a newly bought mandolin. I've found that close to the center of the F holes gets it very close.

thanx alot. it works great :)

According to my tuner (in A 440 the D, G, & A are slightly flat. The E is quite sharp. This could be a result of low quality sound replication or possibly the coding of the sound could be honed in. One should use a good "piezo(vibration/pressure)" tuner for the best results. They can be purchased for as little as $15. The vibration from only your instrument is read, so if others are around making noise it won't matter. A must have for the jamming environment.
