String grouping and tuning = ?[edit]

Anyone know how this instrument's strings are grouped and/or tuned?

Yes; see article update. ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.206.184.130 (talk) 08:18, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural chauvinism?[edit]

Someone has flagged nearly every "notable player" in this article with "citation needed"; I have now provided those citations.

I find it interesting that this should come up in an article about a rather obscure ethnic instrument, employed in a rather obscure, tightly nationalistic style. In dozens of other Wikipedia guitar articles, literally hundreds of guitarists are listed as "notable" and fewer than 10-15% seem to have any citation -- nor does anyone seem to think that citations are needed. Apparently if one is white and/or American their notoriety stands on its own, but if one is brown or from a third-world country, one had better be prepared to "show one's papers".

Adding irony to this ethnic inequity, the single player in this article who was not flagged -- Nano Stern -- has his own Wikipedia article, in which virtually every reference link is dead. Is merely having a Wikipedia article about one now considered sufficient proof of one's notoriety?

This would be funny, were it not so pathetic.

Confusing wording about vocal ranges[edit]

The article talks about tuning up the instrument to “better accommodate a female vocal range,” which is confusing because male and female vocal ranges cover essentially the same range, just an octave up.

I’m not familiar with this style of singing, so maybe men and women are expected to use different registers of their voices, but it would be nice to see a rewording for clarity 47.7.17.99 (talk) 03:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
