Could you hook me up with a good link to watch how to change strings? I've got some elixirs that I love on my guitar and thought I'd put them on my new eastman md 315. Thank you! And gosh it's fun learning how to play.

Re: mandolin newbie, how do I change strings
I use the Frets method linked above. Never had a problem. There are a few tricks that make it easier, I attach the loop to the tailpiece then clamp down the string with a capo to hold it in place while I do the work on the peg head. Also, I only take off one string at a time to be sure the bridge position and angle doesn't change.
