| A string instrument made by prismatic case of triangular
section without handle, about 1.30 m high on which from one to three bowel stringswere
strained which were grazed with the fingers to obtain harmonious sounds. The bow
rubbed the strings on the point in which it was touched by the fingers, near the
“cavigliere”. The name “trumpet” refers to his penetrating timbre
which reminded just that of a trumpet. The attribute “marine” has not found
instead any convincing explanation. |
