| Tuning the Mandolin |
The mandolin can be a tricky instrument to tune and even more difficult to get to stay in tune. In this lesson, Sharon shows you how to get in tune with an electronic tuner.

Once you have the first string in tune, lower the second string and bring it slowly up to pitch until the two strings sound like a single, clear pitch.
