Yes, mandolin bridges are NOT fastened down, so change the strings one at a time. Regardless of the method you use on guitars, for the high E string, it's important to get 3-4 wraps around the tuner post before putting the string through the hole and kinking it. High E strings have a greater tendency to break due to the high tension involved. BTW, you picked a nice mando for your first.
