What Does a Setup Do for My Mandolin?

A professional mandolin setup effectively balances the numerous settings between the parts of your mandolin. This enables proper tone and resolves playability problems such as high string action, fret buzz, fret out, rough fret ends, etc. Inspecting and cleaning keeps your mandolin looking great and can uncover hidden or potential problems.

How often should you get a mandolin setup?

For the average player, your mandolin may need a setup setup every year or so. This number could change quite a bit if you play a lot or your mandolin is subject to temperature and humidity fluctuations. Since a setup affects playability you should get a setup, at least a checkup, anytime things don't seem right. If you experience string buzz or it simply doesn't feel right it probably does need some form of technical adjustments.
