Talk:弦鞀

Definition
Where did you get the definition? This instrument is actually a synonym for the taogu (鞀鼓, pellet drum), and is supposed to have predated lutes in China. 173.88.241.33 06:00, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

I guess it's possible that "弦鞀" refers to a taogu (鞀鼓, pellet drum on a stick/handle) that has had strings stretched along the stick, thus converted from a drum into a string instrument. 173.88.241.33 06:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

 * "亦作“弦鞉”. 乐器名. 犹今之三弦. 《旧唐书·音乐志二》：“琵琶、四弦，漢乐也. 初，秦長城之役，有弦鼗而鼓之者. ” 清毛奇龄《西河词话》卷三五：“三弦起於秦時，本三代鼗鼓之製，而改形易響，謂之弦鞉. 唐時坐部多習之. ”"
 * It is not a percussion instrument, but a stringed instrument; it is definitely not a synonym for 鞀鼓. Also see this. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:16, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
