On most of my instruments the strings tend to go flat if sitting. My mandolin tends to be sharp when I go to tune it. I'm thinking that means that the neck is being pulled up toward the bridge?
I've had it for two + years (it's an Eastman 505) and last year I had it looked at by the store I bought it from (it's a 6 hour round trip, so I don't do it a lot) and they said the neck and all was very good and straight, so I am not worried about it, just wondering on the physics of it all.
