This section is under continuous development. I add bits as and when the inspiration strikes, or when I discover another fascinating and totally nerdy fact about some arcane and esoteric chordophone.

The information is all correct to the best of my knowledge, but most of it has come from my memory. Verifying every fact would involve a vast trawl through the available literature, which I don't have time to do. If anyone spots a glaring error, or wants to take issue with anything, please email me.
