'''Mandolin'''is a string instrument which is plucked or strummed like a [[Guitar]. Mandolin evolved in [[Naples]], [[Italy]].<ref>http://www.banjolin.co.uk/mandolin/mandolinhistory.htm</ref> There are several forms of Mandolins including the Neapolitan style which has a bowl shape and is the original shape. The other forms include flat back style and guitar style. The mandolin has a sound board with sound holes, a flat fret board and eight strings arranged as four pairs (courses). The tuning of this instrument is similar to a violin and is usually GDAE. Apart from western classical music, Mandolin has been used in Jazz, rock music and Indian classical music.
