strumento musicale
A mandolin is a stringed instrument from the lute family that is typically plucked with a pick and has eight strings arranged in four doubled pairs, usually tuned like a violin. It matters as the soprano member of a family of related instruments and is widely used in music because of its distinctive bright sound and relatively accessible construction with affordable steel strings.

Il mandolino (mandolino classico, o napoletano) è uno strumento musicale, caratterizzato da quattro corde doppie, che appartiene al genere dei cordofoni. L'origine del mandolino risale alla prima metà del XVII secolo: invece, soltanto verso la metà del Settecento risale l'inizio della produzione di mandolini napoletani da parte della Casa Vinaccia di Napoli, cioè prodotti dai Vinaccia, famiglia di celebri liutai. Questi mandolini sono quasi tutti intarsiati e posseggono filettature in avorio e madreperla lungo il manico: si deve proprio ai Vinaccia l'applicazione delle corde di acciaio in sostituzione di quelle in ottone, nel primo Ottocento.
