You may have seen my Tone Experiment with the mandolin recently.....well with this much time on my hands I'm determined to make the best of this $350 instrument. I put on $54 Thomastik-Infeld strings...playing it with a Blue Chip CT55 and just used a Coping Saw to remove my Florida....with the strings on.....it didn't even go out of tune!!
And no, it's not perfect, but it's good enough, as it "works".....somewhat on an angle but again saved some money and now I can play in the sweet spot without the pick click.
I'm actually rather surprised that just worked out so well.
