[edit] Lirone
Is the lirone related to the lira da braccio? The tuning is different but it makes sense; even the name is similar. This information should be added to the lirone article. Badagnani 20:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it's on this page, a little further down. I'll add it with source to the lirone page. Mak (talk) 20:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
While you're there, listen to the beautiful lirone audio links I've added. Badagnani 20:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, the lirone has more strings and is tuned in a way that makes it easier to make more chords. I didn't mean that it is literally a bass lira da braccio, but it clearly developed from it (for once, a clear lineage). Mak (talk) 20:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
The pegbox looks similar too (like a vielle). Could you possible add a description of that in both articles? I'm not sure how to put it into words. Also, could you check that the audios I've added are actually lirone? I'm not absolutely sure about the "Orfeo" examples. Badagnani 20:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- The pegbox description on this article is that it's leaf-shaped and has frontal pegs, like most vielles I've seen. I guess that could go earlier in the article, in the lead. Mak (talk) 20:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
The recording sounds good to me, although you might want to mention that there are plucked strings (theorbo?) also playing, so that listeners don't get too confused. Mak (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
