    Default APC mandolin

    I see these have been discussed before, but I have never come across one with this type headstock. Its going fairly cheap, same one to buy over here is €300. Can anybody tell me how to change the strings on this? is it similar to the waldzither? Thanks guys

    It's got those funky Portuguese tuners. The headstock looks nice. I wonder if you have to make a loop at the other end in the tailpiece. Looking at these photos the loop end of the string goes on the headstock.

    This old thread may help with re-stringing.
