From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The octave mandolin is an eight-stringed fretted string instrument tuned an octave below the Neapolitan mandolin. It may have a ribbed bowl-back, a flat or a carved back.
In Europe, it is known as an octave mandola.[citation needed] --A mandola is something different and an octave mandola is on the octave of a mandola, tuned a fifth below a mandolin.
The octave mandolin is closely related to the Irish bouzouki.
