Mandola

Description

The mandola is a captivating stringed instrument that belongs to the mandolin family. It is larger than the traditional mandolin, both in terms of body size and scale length. The mandola typically has four pairs of metal strings, tuned in fifths, just like the violin or viola.

Resembling a larger version of the mandolin, the mandola features a rounded or teardrop-shaped body, a flat or slightly arched soundboard, and a long neck with frets. The strings are plucked or strummed with a pick or the fingers, producing a warm and rich sound.
