Mandolin
We seldom really know about a certain music instrument, unlike those people who are very much expose to music because the parents make sure that their children learn how to play the music instrument of their choice. Some of us are not really familiar to those other kinds of music instruments like the mandolin.
If you ask me, I only know of few musical instruments, that would be guitar, that are very common use, and drums, that is cool if you know how to dig that instrument. And if you look at the mandolin, other would think that it’s like a guitar because that’s what I thought when I first saw it somewhere, and I was amaze when I learn that, the mandolin music instruments are belong to lute family. It descends from the mandore, a soprano member of the lute family.
The soundboard (the top) comes in many shapes, but generally, it is round or teardrop-shaped just like the photo attach, sometimes with scrolls or other projections. So it is best if you know your own instrument and the best mandolin on the market today because it’s hard to look for it considering the many variants of the mandolin that have existed.
