Re: Setting intonation on octave mandolin
What I do to set a bridge is loosen the strings enough so the bridge can be relocated easily. Then I bring one g-string and one e-string up to proper pitch, check the results at the 12th fret with and electronic tuner to make sure it is a pure octave, and then bring the other strings up to pitch. Note: Generally, I only do this when installing a new set of strings. This gets one very, very close.
