Hobgoblin Catalogue - Bouzoukis and Mandolas
The big brother of the Mandolin, the Mandola retains the high-tension stringing but allows lower parts to be played. The Bouzouki was picked up by Irish musicians travelling abroad and adapted for their use by re-tuning to GDAE or GDAD. Modern makers then started producing them with flat backs which made them almost identical to the octave mandola. Bouzoukis are often octave strung but the crucial difference is the longer scale length. ON THIS PAGE:

MANDOLAS & CITTERN

The big brother of the mandolin, the mandola retains the high tension stringing, but allows lower parts to be played. The mandola (or tenor mandola) is tuned as a viola CGDA. The octave mandola (or in USA octave mandolin) are a relatively recent development and are popular because of their suitability for Irish music, being tuned GDAE an octave below a mandolin. The Mandocello is tuned CGDA.

BOUZOUKIS

The bouzouki is a long necked lute developed in Greece from its Turkish roots. Originally 6 stringed, it now usually has 8 strings tuned CFAD. Irish musicians travelling in Greece picked up the bouzouki and adapted it for their use by re tuning to GDAE or GDAD. Modern makers started making them with flat backs Bouzoukis have a longer neck than mandolas, and are generally better for chords
