Mandolin Nut For Acoustic And Electric

Starting from the lowest-pitched string, the standard mandolin is tuned G, D, A, and E, respectively. Remember, the mandolin has eight doubled strings, so this tuning really is GG, DD, AA, and EE. This tuning provides a balanced range and allows for easy chord shapes and melodic playing. The mandolin is a musical instrument in the lute family. It generally has four courses of doubled metal strings, for a total of eight strings, that are tuned in unison. While there are many styles of mandolin, only three are common: the round-backed mandolin, the carved-top mandolin, and the flat-backed mandolin.
