The mandolin is a stringed musical instrument in the lute family, typically featuring eight strings in four courses tuned in unison pairs. It produces a bright, resonant tone and is widely used in various musical genres such as classical, bluegrass, folk, and traditional music. Mandolins are crafted with a rounded or flat back, a fretted neck, and are played by plucking with a plectrum.
