May I request members to help me finding mandolin tone or best alternative for mandolin tone in Casio CTK860IN.

Wow, I just checked the tone list for the CTK-860IN and there's no mandolin anywhere! My nephew has a WK-110. I see from its tone list that it doesn't have a mandolin, either, but I'll see if I can check it later to find anything that sounds close.

I'm thinking that one of the ethnic instruments should sound pretty close to a mandolin.

My Yamaha PSR-E443 has a mandolin sound, so I tried it, then tried the ethnic/world instruments to see how they compare. I think the rabab sounds pretty close. I haven't tried it on my nephew's WK-110 yet, but on the CTK-860IN the rabab is tone number 452. The banjo also sounds somewhat like the mandolin-- on the CTK-860IN the banjo would be tone numbers 448 or 561. There's also a muted banjo, tone number 449 on the CTK-860IN; but on my PSR-E443 the muted banjo doesn't sound as much like the mandolin.
