A madrigal is a form of secular vocal music most typical of the Renaissance (15th–16th centuries) and early Baroque (1600–1750) [citation needed] periods, although revisited by some later European composers. [1]
The tuning and narrow range allow the player a number of simple chord shapes useful for both simple song accompaniment and dances, though much more complex music was also written for it. [3] Its bright and cheerful timbre make it a valuable counterpoint to gut-strung instruments. The Spanish bandurria, still used today, is a similar instrument.

The cythara is a wide group of stringed instruments of medieval and Renaissance Europe, including not only the lyre and harp but also necked, string instruments. [1] In fact, unless a medieval document gives an indication that it meant a necked instrument, then it likely was referring to a lyre.
Although the lute came in sizes, the Tenor was most popular. Similar instruments include the cittern, orpharion and bandora. The next most popular stringed instrument, made in sizes and played in consorts or alone, was the viola da gamba. The viol had six strings, and frets of gut tied around the neck, rather than embedded in the fingerboard.
An early form of the rebec is also referred to as the rubeba in a 13th century Moravian treatise on music. [7] Medieval sources refer to the instrument by several other names, including kit and the generic term fiddle. [8] A distinguishing feature of the rebec is that the bowl (or body) of the instrument is carved from a solid piece of wood.
