The first notes on the mandolin. Tune the instrument

The four double mandolin strings are tuned in unison, that is, each string must be tuned the same way his twin.
Given that there is an old joke that says that the mandolin players spend half of their time to tune the instrument, and half playing with the instrument out of tune spend thirty bucks more for a good mandolin and ten bucks for an electronic tuner.
The first two or treble strings should be tuned on E and are those of thinner steel.
The second two strings should be tuned on A and are of a bit thicker steel.
The third two strings are coated and must be tuned on D.
The fourth, also coated, should be tuned on the G.
Tune the strings one at a time, that is, do not attempt to simultaneously tune both strings of the pair, You will only waste your time in such attempt.

So are you ready?
Let's start with this adventure
