A mandolin is to a guitar as a piccolo is to a flute.

Well...not really. Piccolo is more or less a very small version of a flute, no? Mandolin is a lot smaller than guitar, but not really in the same family, except that both have frets and strings. It's tuned the same as a violin.

Mandolin is descended from lute, right?
