I have a mandola. (Well, I built one....) As I recall the mandola is sort of between the mandolin and the Irish bouzouki... It has a bit longer scale than the mandolin, and the bouzouki has a bit longer scale as well.
It’s fun to play and not as “tight” regarding fingering as your typical mandolin.
I’d think the bouzouki would be even more so, and lend itself more to chordal playing and accompaniment.
