#Mandolin tuner replacements how to#
To tune in your mandolin instrument, you need to have tuner because learning how to tune mandolin is little complicated. There are some alternative tunings available for mandolin, such as G-D-A-D, A-D-A-E, G-D-G-D, and G-D-G-B. Mandolin is completely opposite of guitar, the lowest strings on a mandolin have the same pitch as the highest strings of a guitar. So you need to tune a pair of strings on the same pitch and you can tune your mandolin as G-G-D-D-A-A-E-E. Mandolin has eight strings and violin has four strings. Tuning a mandolin is similar to violin, and you need to set the tune as G-D-A-E, from low to high. Sometimes, you have to tune your mandolin after every song because each song has a different set of musical notes. A Mandolin has four sets of two strings, and you need to tune them to the same pitch. It is similar to guitar, but mandolin has shorter strings than guitar. But, without tuning your mandolin, you cannot play it.

Good luck and let us know what you choose and how they turn out. The specifications for what Stewmac sells is at the bottom of each tuner listing. There are some decent A style tuners available. You can also generally determine if the plate will cover the existing holes that may need to be filled. Beyond that you need to make sure the tuners are the same worm over or worm under configuration and that the spacing center to center on the holes for the posts are correct. Take a look at this thread and you'll see some of what you're up against. In the absence of a small bit you can use a small brad in the drill chuck. You'll need a single sided razor blade or a small sharp chisel to trim them off and you'll need a hand drill and some very small bits. I used the Elmer's Woodworker's glue that is stainable.

That's not real tough, you need round tooth picks and some white glue. Stevojack665 has mentioned filling the holes for the screws.

You really don't need a reason other than you'd like to change them.

Can anyone recommend upgrades that would drop right in to the holes as drilled for the Golden Age tuners without modifications to the headstock?This is America and it is your mandolin so feel free to change them if you'd like. Right now the mandolin has Stew-Mac Golden Age tuners exactly like the ones in the classifieds up for sale right now. I want to replace the tuning machines on my A-style mandolin with upgrades.
