Mandolin-Mandola hybrids
This type of Quintola is like a mandolin or mandola, but with either 5 single strings or 10 strings in 4 paired courses. It is usually tuned C-G-D-A-E, combining the tuning of both the mandolin and mandola. They will sometimes have fanned fretboards to accommodate this tuning.
