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.

De mandoline is een snaarinstrument. De mandoline wordt bespeeld met een plectrum. Het instrument is dubbelkorig en heeft acht snaren die twee aan twee hetzelfde gestemd zijn als bij een viool, dus van laag naar hoog: g - d' - a' - e". Pas eind van de 19e eeuw wordt op de mandoline de tremolotechniek gebruikt, door het plectrum snel over de dubbele snaren heen en weer te bewegen. Op deze manier kunnen lang aangehouden tonen (sostenuto) gesuggereerd worden.
