How does the Mandolin Scale Harmonizer work?
The mandolin uses double courses tuned in fifths: G-D-A-E (GDAE), identical to the violin. Each course has two strings tuned in unison that ring together.
Select a root note and a scale to see all diatonic chords — triads and seventh chords — with chord diagrams for every position on the mandolin fretboard.
Use the interactive fretboard diagram to explore the full scale. Adjust tuning and fret range with the controls below.
