Question: Are mandolins similar to a standard 6-string guitar!?
I've been playing guitar for a while now, and I've taken interest in mandolins recently, are they alike in anyway!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Mandolins are tuned differently and played differently as the strings are doubled!. The strings can even be tuned to different tunings as they were in Renaissance times!.

also the strings are metal, and if you've been playing on nylon, your fingers will hurt again!Www@QuestionHome@Com
