Subject: RE: mandola tunings
You can work out string gauge tensions with this handy string tension calculator. Generally, one should aim for a relatively even tension across all strings. Enter the tuning you want and play with different gauges to see the tension generated and try to achieve something close to the "standard tuning" tension.

Hope this may help.
