madolins have 8 strings in 4 pairs (equally tuned). The lowest string is a G, and the highest sting is an E. This leaves the highest note (on a conventional 18 fret mando) as a C
Only in that they are both instruments with doubled courses of strings. The lute is a guitar-sized instrument with the approximate range of the guitar. The mandolin is a smaller, tenor-voiced instrument.

Yes, you can use the same sheet music for violin and mandolin, as both instruments are tuned similarly in terms of pitch. However, since the mandolin is a fretted instrument and typically plays in a different style, adjustments may be needed for fingerings and techniques. Additionally, the mandolin usually plays in a higher octave, so transposition might be necessary depending on the arrangement.
Yes, there is a difference. A mandolin is a lute-like instrument, played like a guitar: http://www.answers.com/topic/mandolin?cat=entertainment A violin is a stringed instrument, played with a bow: http://www.answers.com/topic/violin?cat=entertainment However, just as there are four members of the violin family - the violin, viola, cello/violoncello and double bass, there are four basic members of the mandolin family which bear some relation to the violin family's relationships. These are as follows: * mandolin, with a range similar to that of the violin * mandola or tenor mandola, tuned to a fifth below the mandolin, meaning it has the same relationship as a viola to a violin * mandocello or mandolin cello * mando-bass, which is tuned like a double bass There are also several other mandolins in the mandolin family, such as the octave mandolin, the piccolo or sopranino mandolin, and several other variants of the mandolin from other countries.
Yes, mandolin strings are typically grouped in pairs, with each pair consisting of two strings tuned to the same pitch. This setup is known as "courses," and a standard mandolin has four courses, making a total of eight strings. The paired strings enhance the instrument's volume and richness of tone. The most common tuning for a mandolin is G-D-A-E, from the lowest to the highest course.
Those of the Mandolin family:* mandolin - higher pitched as in the soprano range * mandola - mid-range, as like a vocal alto * mandocello - mid-low range, as like a cello or tenor voice range * mando-bass - low range, as like a vocal bass singer.
