Just restrung my flinthill f style to the jm11 and when I fine tuned it with a snarc, sounds nice when strum open strings but when picking up from the d to a A sting seems one fret off. I retuned it to no avail. I am a beginner manolinist and thought by using better strings over the stock ones it would be a great step up, giving my basic skills the
chance to sound better. The stock G string had a dud sound to it. Is this a matter of just some strings make it sing and some just don't or is there something else I need to check. The bridge (string) height looks even all the way down the neck, and its relatively easy to play. I know its not a gibson or a fender but its actually a solid wood well made entry level mandolin. Any advise from the sages is appreciated.
Best Regards
