mandolin

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

hope you still care about this post . . . thought I'd reply since no one else has:

i borrowed a mandolin once and i think yes, you have to remove the metal piece to remove the strings from the nut at the bottom. and yeah, i think you shouldn't change them all at once. but I think this will be more helpful:
