I just finished expanding the Wikipedia article Mandole and got confused.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandole Because when I compared it to the mandolute article, it seemed to me that these are the same instrument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandolute
I gathered from looking back at the originals for the mandolute, that the only source for it came from a 2002 online feature column. http://archive.rockpaperscissors.biz...ect_id/199.cfm
The mandole on the other hand seems to date back to 1932, with stories sharing specific names and place.
Sorry for this long setup, with reading to do. Here's my question... Is the use of the word mandolute legitimate for the Algerian-made instruments? Does anyone know a piece that is still missing?
