Eight-String Tenor

An eight-string tenor typically refers to a tenor guitar or similar instrument fitted with eight strings arranged in four courses (pairs), rather than the traditional four single strings, giving a fuller, richer tone similar to a mandolin or 12-string guitar. It is used in folk, bluegrass, and traditional music settings where players want more chordal depth from a smaller-bodied instrument. The doubled courses are usually tuned in unison or octaves.
