[DENNY7P]

What do they mean, when they say tune it gdae one octave lower then a mandolin.When i tune a mandolin,i use a tuner and tune each string open.how do you tune with a tuner????NOW REMEMBER I'AM NEW AT THIS!

You would tune it the same way. The tuner doesn't differentiate the octave.

The open low G on your mandolin should match the 5th fret on the D string string on the tenor.
