Is this real?

[edit]

Is this real? I can't find such a definition in the Oxford English Dictionary, or in Groves Encyclopedia of Music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SemperBlotto (talkcontribs) 03:24, 12 October 2006

One wonders and it's a pity there's no provenance for the picture, but Encyclopedia Britanica 11 must be verifiable. "Accordance" for tuning sounds like translationese, and "Monaco di Baviera" would have to be Munich. MGG (to which I don't have full access) seems to have a hit for Philomele' in the article Streichinstrumentenbau. If only we had a blue link for bowed melodion, missing from Schlesinger's contributions! Sparafucil (talk) 07:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
