Hi, the mandolin, from high to low strings, is tuned E-A-D-G, so if you tune UP, you are tightening the strings up three or four semitones, so the neck might be able to handle it, but there would be a LOT of tension on the strings. On the flip side, you can tune it to the lower octave, and that would work. It's a sturdy little neck. Hope this helps. It is a nice mandolin.

It's steel strings but the larger strings required for ukulele notes could damage the neck over time.

Mine didn't come in tune but the package comes with a tuner, so if you read the instructions, you should be able to tune it. You could also find an online free guide that helps you to tune a guitar. I hope this helps!

Yes you can, I use it to set open G on my lap Steel guitar quite often. It gives you a real vibrant chord sound that sounds awesome.

The tuner is chromatic, which means it tunes all notes including sharps and flats, and it is a clip-on that responds to vibrations in the instrument. Any instrument you can clip it to, it will tune. Very low frequencies as in a bass guitar will not register as well, but banjo, ukellele, violin, etc. will tune fine. Even horns and woodwinds should work.

As I understand, the Snark SN2 is an "all instrument tuner." I tried it on a mandolin, guitar, bass, cello, violin, viola and upright bass and it worked every time. Never tried a ukulele but I imagine it would work, it has a wide range. Also as well as the vibration tuner it does have a microphone tuner.

The tuners are bad on this guitar, I'm not sure about putting custom tuners on it. the one I ordered came broken and would not tune.

This might be a crazy question, but are you playing a chord? If you play all four strings as open strings, it will sound out of tune because those notes don't really match, unless you need an Am7 chord. If you play a C chord, the ukulele should sound in tune.

The set up from the factory was perfect for the OU5 that I got. Another Uke that I bought needed the fret ends polished . The neck on a ukulele isn't under the same stress as a guitar neck. Fewer strings with a lot less tension on a much shorter neck mean truss rod adjustments and bridge alterations aren't normally required. Most ukes don't even have truss rods so the saddle height is factory set for most players.

I'm using acoustic string guitar & it dose fit. I didn't try it in the ukulele, but although it has small neck I think it will fit.

There is a selection for a ukulele on the menu of the tuner. I hope this helps...

If you tune it like a regular guitar, e.b. EADGBE, the strings end up being too floppy to play well. Tune to ADGCEA which is transposed "up a fourth" or like a guitar with capo on 5th fret.

It will tune to whatever the nearest note is- no issues with only detecting EADGBe. If you want to detune your 6th string to a D for instance, just detune it until the tuner picks up the tone as a D. My band plays tuned down a half step and it's very simple- great tuner.

I suppose with the right distortion and tuning you could make an electric sound similar to a Hawaiian steel guitar, but it might be easier to just go for a guitar which already produces this type of sound. A great deal of the sound will depend on techniques such as slides and bends.

I dont think so. You need something that doesn't clip on the string. Just get those regular tuner that "listens" to the sound of the string.

Yes. It's tuned like the four treble guitar strings, or like a ukulele, so chording is similar. Frets are a little small for my Big Hammy Fingers, though ;-)
