If you're not used to the high tension double course wonder of a mandolin you'll be in awe as that cheese grater destroys those guitar calluses. But you'll have honest to God real mando calluses when you're done.

I guess it is short scale and the GDAE seemed to be the tuning it wants.
"High tension double course" is a new term to my ears!
I was calling it stiff and blaming it on old strings.
My poor calluses .
