notes on the mandolin fretboard
Here is a diagram of the mandolin fretboard with the accompying notes on the staff. The formatting is not perfect but it prints out quite nicely.
I think you'll find this layout easy to follow. I hope that some will find it useful.

My daughter did this for me. Kids can be very useful.

And if anyone's interested here is the same layout for the guitar!

Your quite welcome.
I could not find anything on the internet that would help with matching fretboard positions to the accompyning note on the staff.
So this is what we came up with.

Can she do one for a Mandocello?:whistling:
Is your Godin a burst or natural finished like mine?
Re: notes on the mandolin fretboard
I have put together a course that not only shows you were the notes are but includes a series of timed exercises that make you locate each note one each string. Some of you may be old enough to remember flash cards as a method to practice, and improve your arithmetic skills. https://youtu.be/c0rwPsOnWjM

Related thing I found in a very old tune book. Shows the ranges of the mandolin type instruments.
Some of those old tune books had a chart very similar to the one Wayne's daughter prepared. Often in the inside front cover. Kind of like "here you go, now you can play anything."

Depends on your device. Using a mouse? Right click the image & choose to save or download the photo. No? Then search Google how to save photos to your specific device.

I get it, it's pretty low resolution when you right click. I copied it and pasted it into an image editing program. It was about 2-1/2" x 2" at 240 dpi. I think it's basically no longer available in a useable format. It's pretty old.
The OP was logged in pretty recently, though, maybe they'll see your inquiry and repost a higher resolution pdf.

Agreed, the images are not very good resolution. Check out the different downloads available in this thread: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...otation-to-TAB
Also, perhaps this image from another thread may be helpful:

If you need a clearer fretboard map, I have a few on my site here - https://mattcbruno.com/fretboard-maps/
Aside from the whole tone and the full chart, the post includes the Major scales for C, G, D, E, and A with the arpeggio notes highlighted.
