Re: Oh you fickle beast!
Mine needed tuning yesterday, and what is usually a simple tweak turned into a long, irritating chore. Every string was off just enough to sound wrong, but so little that it was difficult to pick up on the subtle differences. I was looking longingly at my alto recorder, telling it, "I never have to tune you, sweetheart, just pick you up and play." (I keep it handy for working out some tunes first, or to give my fingers a break). The mandolin got jealous and decided to cooperate so I wouldn't put it back in it's cage. You might try turning your back on it for a few minutes. Some days they are dogs and some days they are cats.
