hope you still care about this post . . . thought I'd reply since no one else has:
i borrowed a mandolin once and i think yes, you have to remove the metal piece to remove the strings from the nut at the bottom. and yeah, i think you shouldn't change them all at once. but I think this will be more helpful: http://www.elixirstrings.com/products/h ... dolin.html
haha yeah...two months late...i figured it out eventually....but i kinda lost interest in mandolin so now it just sits in my house
