About Mandolin Strings and Tuning the Instrument
Mandolin strings are made of metal and for the first few hours, they will tend to stretch. It may take a few days for the strings to fully settle in. No matter the brand name of strings, they are going to stretch when you first put them on. Because of this, do not expect any mandolin to hold it's tuning on the first attempt. Good strings are very important. If you need mandolin tuning instructions, email us and we will send you instructions along with a MIDI music file that you can use to tune the mandolin. There is no implied warranty on strings.
