About Mandolins
The sweet trill of a mandolin is an integral part of many styles of traditional music, whether it’s Celtic folk or bluegrass. The instrument has enjoyed a resurgence in modern country thanks to players like Chris Thile.
The mandolin is part of a family of string instruments which includes the mandola, mandocello and mando bass. The mandolin is the smallest and highest-pitched of the four.
There are two main types of mandolin: the A-style and the F-style. The A-style is a teardrop shape and is more often played in Celtic music. The F-style body features an ornate scroll which helps balance the mandolin, making it much easier to play standing up. This makes it the weapon of choice for bluegrass musicians.
What Makes the Mandolin Different?
- Sweet, melodious sound
- Essential part of many country and folk arrangements
- Different styles suit different players.
Frequently Asked Questions about Mandolins
Question: How many frets are there on a mandolin?
A-style mandolins typically have 20 frets. F-style mandolins have a staggered fingerboard, which means there are more frets for the treble strings than the bass strings. In this circumstance, there can be as much as 25 frets for the A and E strings.
Question: How many strings are there on a mandolin?
There are eight strings on a mandolin but they come in unison pairs. These unison pairs are very close together and can be fretted with one finger. This means that, in terms of playing the mandolin, you can think of it as having four strings.
Question: Are mandolin and ukulele chords the same?
No, mandolin and ukulele chords are very different. Ukuleles have more in common with guitars because they are tuned in intervals of fourths. Mandolins have more in common with violins because they are tuned in intervals of fifths.
