I tuned a piano for someone who showed me a mandolin he was making. He
explained how the top has to be carved (like a violin), then braced and
tuned to resonate at a certain pitch (actually the left half was
supposed to be a slightly different pitch than the right). Since the
top can ring for only a short time, you need to have a strobe type of
tuner which responds immediately.<br>
<br>
He said that he was looking on ebay or Craig's list and a going price
was $75.<br>
