Talk:Gebunden

Musical instrument
I don’t think this is a noun, and I don’t think it means a musical instrument. It’s the adjective gebunden, which in music means fretted with respect to the clavichord (antonym: bundfrei). Also in music, gebunden can mean tied, slurred, or bound. Another meaning that it has in music is legato. —Stephen (Talk) 08:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Gebunden
German entry: I do not believe this is a German noun. Never heard of anything like that. I think it’s just the adjective gebunden, as I have explained on the discussion page for Gebunden. —Stephen (Talk) 08:23, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You're right. Looking through the history, I see it started out as a Wikipedia article saying "Gebunden is a German term and can either refer to an instrument with frets, or legato articulation", which doesn't actually say whether it's a noun or an adjective. It got transwikied here, and Goldenrowley formatted it as a noun, but he isn't around anymore and his user page does not indicate any knowledge of German. I'll add the musical meanings to gebunden, and then as far as I'm concerned we can skip the bureaucracy and just delete this. —Angr 18:13, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
