DEF

instrument à une seule (...) corde frottée, montée sur une caisse triangulaire et longitudinale, dont la sonorité éclatante rappelle celle de la trompette. (Il doit cette sonorité au fait que l'un des pieds du chevalet, non fixé, vibre sur une plaque de verre ou d'ivoire. Cet instrument fut en vogue du XVe au XVIIIe s.).
