There's too many images for the amount of text here. Perhaps we should pick one to show and put the others in a gallery.

Tuning(s)?

Any article about an instrument which can potentially be tuned to more than one set of pitches should include /at least/ a standard or 'most common' tuning for the instrument, giving both -pitches- /and/ -octaves-. Frustrating to find an article with no clue given as to how the instrument is tuned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.174.105 (talk) 23:01, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Modern cittern

There is a dearth of information about the modern cittern. The section on this mentions waldzithers and Portuguese guitars, but neither of these are citterns, though both are members of the cittern family. Waldzithers have 9 strings; Portuguese guitars have 12 strings; modern citterns have 10 strings, and there are other differences.

I've seen 10 of these modern 10-string instruments for every one Rennasiance-style cittern, so they are not exactly uncommon. Yet the article says virtually nothing about them. the "modern cittern" section needs to be fleshed-out. 74.95.43.253 (talk) 23:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
