I recently got a Mandolin and thought I’d create a quick video showing how I tune it up. Usually I play guitar and a little banjo, but I have to admit I very much like this little instrument.

I’m playing around with altered tunings (non-EADGBe), like Andy McKee or Don Ross songs, and every time I try to change tuning, I pop a string.
