Abbreviations

This box still has abbreviations despite the consensus now to use them. Should they simply be deleted? --Klein zach 02:29, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We are still developing an article on the instruments of the Baroque period. Why change now and then again when that is good enough? I don't think any reader is hurt by an abbreviation he may not understand. - In some infoboxes the abbreviations were replaced by simply saying "instruments", - I don't see how that is any better. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:09, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kleinzach, maybe spell out the instruments, or give number of instrumental parts? Nikkimaria (talk) 22:34, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
