Think of it as in another related string instrument. just as a string bass the fingering spot is a wider range of location, than a violin.
watch how much the players left hand moves when a double bass violist like Edgar Meyer adds vibrato, as compared with violin players.
A locking nut or tuners, isnt going to be a realistic substitution in a traditional styled mandolin. but a custom made electric any of those variations may be possible.
those steinberg 40:1 tuners that pull the string down, rather than around a capstan as most tuners, would be pretty solid, with that ratio .
as, perhaps, would knob on the back locking tuners.
