Re: why does my A string sound flat?
440 A sounds sour to me. A well respected fiddler, who I played with for years, would occasionally play my mando. I'd check the tuning afterwards and it was always in tune except for the A which was a always 2 cents sharp.They tuned by ear and after 2 years I asked why. Their reply is they preferred a sweeter A.
I'd always used a tuner and never thought about that but it does sound better.

Whether you slow your roll or mash on it, enjoy the ride.
