The mandolin is the soprano member of the mandolin family, as the violin is the soprano member of the violin family. Like the violin, its scale length is typically about 13 inches (330 mm). Modern American mandolins modelled after Gibsons have a longer scale, about 13 + 7 ⁄ 8 inches (350 mm).
The scale length of the octave mandolin is longer than that of the mandolin, and varies more widely, from 19 inches (480 mm) to 24 inches (610 mm), with 21 inches (530 mm) being typical. The internal bracing is similar to the mandolin and mandola, with a single transverse brace on the top just below the oval sound hole.
Fender has also built some 3/4-size student guitars with a scale length of 22.5 inches (570 mm) or shorter. Gibson uses a scale length of 24 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (630 mm) on most of its electric guitars, including the ES-335, Les Paul, SG, Flying V, and Explorer. Gibson has used other scale lengths on various models through the years.

When tuning it as a guitar the strings will be tuned (E2) (E2) A2 A2 D3 D3 G3 G3 B3 B3 (E4) (E4). [8]
When the word "mandolin" is said in the 21st century, it usually refers to an instrument with 8 strings tuned in fifths, such as the Neapolitan mandolin or the American bluegrass mandolin. It is also commonly thought that mandolino is a diminutive of mandola, and that therefore the mandolino was a smaller development of the mandola.

Most bluegrass mandolin players choose one of two styles. Both have flat or nearly flat backs and arched tops. The so-called a-style mandolin has a teardrop-shaped body; the f-style mandolin is more stylized, with a spiraled wooden cone on the upper side and a couple of points on the lower side.
