Do mandolins and violins have the same fingerings?
Yep- the tuning of the strings and finger spacings are identical. I myself am a violin player, but bought a mandolin and was able to transfer all of my fave violin songs straight over. Some differences are there though- the mandolin has 8 strings (in pairs tuned identically, so you have 2 G strings right next to each other to increase sound), mandolins have frets (yay for perfect tuning) and to be able to class yourself as a mandolin player you need to learn chords too

Are elixir strings good?
They are rated highly in the guitar community. They sound good, and typically last longer and are more expensive than other popular brands like D'addario and Ernie Ball. They are also protected against rust. HOWEVER, for some reason the G string often breaks right out of the package. This has happened to me and a couple of my friends. For that reason alone, I would stay away from this faulty product.
