I wasn't clear on this, but since that original post, the mandolin has just set in the corner waiting for me to get around to it. So yes, yesterday I did put a ne set of strings on it. Tuners are functional, but still stiff at some point in their rotation. At another point (like a quarter-turn later), they turn pretty easily. Kinda weird there -- I don't know enough about tuners to know why they're like this. I'm considering new tuners (does anyone have any insight on this?), but for now, they're working and this mandolin is sounding very nice!
