The mandolin is a stringed musical instrument that belongs to the lute family and is known for its bright, ringing sound. It typically has eight strings arranged in four pairs, called courses, which are tuned in unison. Played with a plectrum or pick, the mandolin produces a distinct tone often associated with folk, classical, bluegrass, and country music. Its origins trace back to Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries, evolving from earlier stringed instruments like the lute and mandore. The mandolin is played by plucking or strumming the strings and is appreciated for its versatility, melodic capability, and ability to add rhythmic texture in various musical genres.
