    Great video! Simple, straight to the point, I was able to figure out the tuning I wanted. Thank you!

    There are many string comparison videos on U Tube. I find they have no use to me or for any one else who doesn’t play the same or equal quality mandolin that the presenter uses.

    The Thomastik Mandolin strings are wonderful! I only string my mandolins with a single course of strings, so these expensive strings are more affordable for me, being two sets in one. I made the mistake of buying a set of heavy strings, which especially in single courses, can be rough on the finger tips, even though they too are extremely smooth to the touch, but the mediums are beautifully flexible and easy to play, having a round, full sound. I don't like round wound mandolin strings, which are the standard in America. I have tried the Pyramid Gold strings. They are a little rougher, but not bad. I will stick with Thomastik. I changed strings on my electric mandolin today, and was reminded of the quality of these great strings, with the old set lasting many hundreds of playing hours.

    Lovely-grear tune. I'm sure the attempt to remember other tunes is a way a lot of tunes are written/evolve. There's a great Japanese tenor player who I love, Teramae Hiroyuki, often tunes his tenor right down an octave below the 'standard' cgda. Sounds fantastic

    I think people get so wrapped up in tone woods when it comes to the sound quality of a guitar but the type of strings can make or break an instrument just as easily in my opinion and those sounds great.
