That's why, and I only got it yesterday, and now I can't play it!

Strangely, some of the mandolin tuning guides require me to tune an octave higher. Aaagh, that is so misleadingg!

Should have tuned to my sound of the E string in unison with my classical guitar first!

Well, the tuning video shows that the mandolin is at least one octave higher than the guitar's E string. That's why maybe it broke or something else. I should have double-checked it!

Aaaaagh, I wanna wanna wanna play Vivaldi!! I'm too itchy right now!

Say, could my mandolin play blues too?

It is definitely higher and on the blues sounds like a plan

Sounds good and no rush Bro but looking forward to checking it out. My fingerpicking has always been my strong point I rarely use a pick playing acoustic
