The 16th and 17th century mandolinos from northern Italy were smalllutes with 5 or 6 courses or pairs of gut strings. The Neapolitan-stylemandoline developed 4 pairs of wire strings and was used for chambermusic in the 18th century. Popular in the early 20th century, this'bowl back' mandolin was an important part of domestic music-making andthe soprano of the mandolin orchestra.
