Neapolitan mandolin
This type of mandolin was invented in Naples in the mid-18th century. Its strings are grouped in four pairs and tuned in fifths to the same pitches as the violin. In addition, its fingerboard is fretted to facilitate intonation, which made the mandolin easier to play than the violin and particularly successful among amateur performers.
