Originally, the mandolin had 6 strings. Later designs included 8 strings (4 pairs) and the strings were plucked with a plucktrum. Other designs have multiples of 4 strings, up to a maximum of 16 strings.

Can a tenor mandola be tuned to gdae?
The mandola is the viola-equivalent of the mandolin family, and wants to be tuned Cgda, an octave higher than the Mando-cello (the cello-equivalent of the mandolin family.) The mandolin is tuned gdae', and frankly, while you certainly could try to tune the mandola that high, it would be a disaster to the strings and instrument because of the tension. It is possible that you could tune the mandola to GDae (i.e., an octave lower than the mandolin) except that the strings would have to be very heavy and would end up very loose, which is also not a good compromise. On the other hand, if you scale the strings and the sounding length of the strings is not much greater than the length of a mandolin, you can tune a mandola a whole tone lower than the mandolin with some success. Just my personal feelings here, though: If you want a mandolin, get a mandolin. A good mandola will sell for much more than the price of a similar-quality mandolin (both because it is larger and more rare) if you need to, and nothing really sounds like a mandolin quite like a mandolin does.
What are mandolins?
Mandolins are decendants of the lute, whilst they are tuned like a violin (G,D,A,E) but are held and strummed like a guitar. Mandolins are traditionally acoustic, but recently electric models have been around. They come in a variety of styles, including those in the link below. They make a very distictive and rather nice sound- type in mandolin on youtube for a taster http://mandolincity.com/images/mandolin2.jpg
