A mandolin is a stringed musical instrument in the lute family, known for its bright, ringing tone. It typically has eight strings arranged in four pairs, tuned in unison, and is played by plucking with a plectrum. The mandolin's small, teardrop-shaped body and short neck make it well-suited for fast, intricate melodies. It is commonly used in folk, bluegrass, and classical music, but its distinctive sound has also found a place in rock and pop.
Watch as Nancy Wilson plays The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin. Appearing on their 1971 album Led Zeppelin IV, the song is a haunting duet between Robert Plant and singer Sandy Denny, with Jimmy Page playing the mandolin. Inspired by Celtic mythology and fantasy themes, the song’s eerie atmosphere and storytelling lyrics make it a standout track in the band's catalogue.
