Re: When to detune strings?
I would think not. Mandolins are designed to perform with the string tension in play (so to speak) and a well-constructed instrument should be just fine even when not being played. I am often astonished when I check the tuning before a gig and find it is still in tune after having been in the case for a few days or a week or even more. Of course, every instrument is different, so YMMV.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
