| | Mandolin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The mandolin is the soprano member of the mandolin family, as the violin is the soprano member of the violin family. | | | The piccolo or sopranino mandolin is a rare member of the family, tuned one octave above the tenor mandola and one fourth above the mandolin; the same relation as that of the piccolo or sopranino violin to the violin and viola. | | | Adoption of the mandolin in Indian Carnatic music is recent. |

| | A Brief History of the Mandolin |
| | English folk-rock, the acoustic-tinged albums of Rod Stewart, and the heady acoustic ballads of Led Zepplin all made the mandolin a familiar sound to rock audiences. | | | Many young artists are recording albums of classical mandolin music, and recently in New York City, a mandolin orchestra held its 70th annual Spring concert. | | | In country music, the mandolin has made quite a comeback since the heyday of the Nashville Sound in the 60's and 70's. |

| | Mandolin |
| | The Mandolin is a small fretted instrument with four pairs of metal strings tuned like the violin to E A D G. The instrument is played by plucking each pair of strings together using a plectrum, sometimes in rapid succession to produce a tremolo effect, which is a characteristic associated with the mandolin. | | | Also the mandolin has found its way into pop music and Bluegrass music. | | | Today the mandolin has become more popular due to the interest in the music of composers such as Vivaldi. |

| | The mandolin had metal strings, 4 courses tuned in 5ths, like a violin, and was played with a plectrum in the strummed manner. | | | Since it's tuning and scaling matched the violin, it was classical instrument and was used in serious music. | | | Odd that today the mandolin is most used in Country and Bluegrass music! |

| | Instead of only instrumental breaks, (mandolin, fiddle, guitar, banjo, etc.), you will be sharing the honors of soloing with others in a more supporting role to the singers. | | | The mandolin generally does not use a capo like the guitar or banjo, so it’s necessary to transpose a solo into another key quickly. | | | Although mandolin solos are included, the back up portions are carefully transcribed to help give you a sense of professional rhythm and fills. |
