notes
The Gambetta or Gambetta Inglese or Violetta di Gambe Inglese , in use in Augsburg and in the milieu of the landgrave of Hessen-Darmstadt, must have been, judging by the compositions for this instrument by Sales, Lang, Neubaur, Ursenbeck-Massimi and an anonymous author, an instrument in the tenor-contralto register. The presence of metal strings for resonance or plucking with the thumb (baryton) can be assumed but is not certain.
