## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the “red” and the “red burst”?**
A: Red is pure red color and the red burst is a pattern of irregular concentric bands of colour with the brightest at the centre.

**Q: Are red and black are same?  you have answered they are same but i see difference in bridge wood and overall dimension  pls clarify?**
A: Yes, the red one is the original version, and the black one has some modification on size figuration and bridge. And these modifications will apply on the red one from next batches. It is recommended that in performance consideration, you could choose the black model and it has new model discount, while in color preference consideration, you could choose the red one, if you'd like a passion color.

**Q: Is this an "a" body or an "f" body mandolin? what is a good, sturdy, recommended hard shell case for it?**
A: Thanks for your inquiry. As the title mentioned, this mandolin is an A style body mandolin, that has a plain, pear-shaped body and no points. .  If you play blues or rock, something warmer and softer tends to work better for the harmonies you prefer, A-style mandolin provides this result. As for the case recommendation, Vangoa bundle always include a durable soft bag, and there're a lot good case on Amazon. As long as the case size is matched, it will provide a well protection, it's recommended that the case interior size should be larger than 28 x 14 x 2 inch without going too far.

**Q: Can you adjust the eight of the strings? I like them to be as low as possible.**
A: Thanks for asking, The top of Vangoa mandolin bridge sits on 2 wheels which move up or down when turned. This raises and lowers the action. To measure the action, check the height of the strings of the fret at the 12th fret with the string at the first fret. You can use a feeler gauge or a little ruler to measure the string height.
Fifty Thousandths (0.05) of an inch on the bass strings and forty thousandths (0.04) on the treble strings will allow a clean tone with comfortable playability. If the action feels stiff, you can lower the bridge. If there is string buzz, raise it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 25 September 2023*

After reading other reviews I can confirm a few items to watch out for when you get this. It is a great value package for beginners but the initial setup may prove daunting to a beginner. Any new instrument, especially smaller ones, need time to break in and adjust. You wont be pulling this out of the box, tuning it up and playing perfect pitch the first day. It is a tedious setup process, but once setup you will enjoy this instrument for years to come. It comes pre strung but strings are loose for transport. As a test I tuned the strings that were pre installed and it sounded good enough. The included tuner works as expected but is not as easy to use as Snark or other known brands. I am a guitar player but have not played mandolin. Replacing strings here is no different on a mandolin than guitar but does take more patience and finesse to tune than a guitar. The included strings are not fancy but will tune properly with some patience. Get the mandolin tuned as close as possible and play it a bit. Yes it will sound off. Don't try to get it sounding perfect that first day. Set it aside for a day to 'rest' before coming back and fine tuning the strings again. On this second day you want to ensure the floating bridge is in the correct position. Mine had shifted slightly in travel resulting in the odd mismatched sound on the 1st fret. I verified the bridge placement by playing the (tuned) open strings one at a time followed by playing a 'harmonic' on the 12th fret for each string. (lightly touch but do not press down on the 12th fret then remove your finger so it rings out) Using the tuner, check that the open string matches the same tuning as the harmonic on the 12th fret. Take note of any strings that do not match then see what movement is needed on the bridge. Mine needed just the low string side of the bridge moved back barely a millimeter toward the tail (body) end to fix because my low string was out but high string was ok. Have to loosen the strings a bit so you can very carefully adjust the bridge. Want to be able to move it with some resistance but not too loose as too much movement and you will have to tune and start over. (This is the tedious part) Then tune it again and may have to repeat a few times until you get it right and all 4 sets of strings are tuned open and harmonically at the 12th fret.
