Stringed instruments
Harp
thios was smaller than a
harp we know today with fewer strings.
Citole
the citol is the
ancestor of our modern guitar. It had a fretted neck and wire
strings which were plucked.
Viol
This fretted instrument
is similar to the modern violin although it was played
sitting down with the instrument resting between the legs of
the player.
Hurdy Gurdy
This is an unusual
instrument which seems to have bits of both the violin and the piano. It was
played by turning a small wheel with one hand while
the other hand pressed down on a set of keys (a bit like a piano)
to adjust their pitch. As the wheel turns, it rubs against the strings (like the
bow on a violin), and this makes the strings vibrate.
Psaltery Psalteries were
wire-strung instruments mounted on a hollow wooden box. They were played
sitting down with the instrument placed on the performers lap. They appear in several shapes, the most common being trapezoid.
Rebec
This instrument was pear
shaped and usually had just four strings. It was played
with a bow.

In the Tudor times many people had to make their own entertainment. There
were no computers, televisions and mp3 players and very few people could
read.

light and went to bed when it was dark. They worked most of the day and week and
so much entertainment was saved until Sundays. The one day of the week when most
people didn't work.
