GUEST,goodbar mandolin question (12) mandolin question 15 Jul 05

i just got my first mandolin in the mail today (cheap $130 one :) )

i noticed the bridge height isn't even. the bridge is adjustable and has thumb screws. should i just adjust them myself so they're both even? or is this something a professional should take care of? i just don't want to screw it up or something.

also, a string broke when i was first tuning it. could this have anything to do with the bridge? i think it was just 'cause i was trying to tune it an octave too high 'cause i'm a retard and don't know how loose/tight the tension should be, but i don't know.


thanks.
