| | Mandola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Also like the guitar, the mandola can be acoustic and/or electric. | | | Mandolas are not uncommon in folk music and sometimes used in Irish traditional music, although far less often, in the latter case, than the octave mandola, Irish bouzouki, and modern cittern. | | | A mandola (US and Canada) or tenor mandola (Europe, Ireland, and UK) is a stringed musical instrument. |

| | Mel Bay's Mandolin Sessions® Seth Austen - Solar Mandola June 2005 |
| | Mandolin, mandola, mandocello and mandobass are all tuned similarly to their violin family relatives. | | | Seth plays a wide array of stringed instruments including mandolin, mandola, bouzouki, acoustic and slide guitar, fiddle, 5 string banjo and fretted dulcimer. | | | I find the alto voice of the mandola well suited to many styles of music and especially enjoy playing the mandola in mandolin ensembles. |

| | So Just What Exactly Is A Cittern, Anyway? |
| | Gibson's terminology was only slightly confusing at the time, owing to the fact that there already was an instrument called a mandola, used in 19th-century classical mandolin ensemble music, and it was tuned GDAE, a full octave below the mandolin. | | | If you've spent any time at all around Celtic music, you'll have noticed the frequency with which citterns, bouzoukis, octave mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos and even blarges show up. | | | You might be wondering what exactly these strange creatures are. |
