The Bandolim or Portuguese Mandolin was a popular instrument in the country in the 19th century. From there it was taken to Brazil. The Brazilian Bandolim has a shallow, near round body and 8 or 10 strings (the one shown has 10, 5 pairs of 2). It is particularly played in Choro.
Bandolims are assigned the number 321.321 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs) ), indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid-body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonator’s surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.321 = Necked Bowl Lutes. Instrument with a resonator made from a bowl, either natural or carved.
