Instruments
The Lõisian string orchestra has a much wider variety of instruments than our timeline's common-practice orchestra; it's comparable to Carleen Hutchins's Violin Octet. It's made up of the following instruments:
- pochette (þe poczte, þí poczten); tuned a fourth above our violin
- violin (þe fiþlín); slightly larger than our violin and tuned the same or a whole step below (F-C-G-D)
- viola (þe altfiþel); tuned like our viola
- tenor violin (þe fiþel or þe tienerfiþel); tuned a fourth or fifth below the viola
- violoncello (þe boriefiþel); tuned an octave below the viola
- bass (þe básfiþel); tuned an octave below the tenor violin
- contrabass (þe jetenfiþel); tuned an octave below the viola
- subcontrabass (þe risьfiþel); tuned two octaves below the tenor violin
- mega-bass (þe þurьzefiþel); tuned two octaves below the cello
