Hey Guys,
I have an F-5 kit that I've recently put a new top on and I'm getting close to stringing it back up. I have been wanting a mandola and I'm thinking of stringing this mandolin up as one.
I understand that mandolas have larger bodies and longer scale lengths, but is it crazy for me to think that I could tune this as a short-scale mandola. Obviously I could use mandolin string gauges for the G-D-A and just find a heavier gauge string for the C.
Has anyone tried this? Does anyone see any problems with doing this?
