| 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. | Fretted Instrument Section ON THIS PAGE: MANDOLAS & CITTERN BOUZOUKIS MANDOLA, BOUZOUKI STRINGS MANDOLA, BOUZOUKI CASES & BAGS RELATED PAGES: SECONDHAND BOUZOUKI PAGE BOUZOUKI BOOKS BOUZOUKI SPARES Bouzouki FAQ Page updated on: 04/02/12 |

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. Call us now +44 (0)845 130 9500 Local Rate - we have expert staff ready to advise you or take your order.
