===Vegetarian and vegan substitutions===
===Vegetarian and vegan substitutions===
Since vegetarians and vegans were and are important constituents of Talman societies, many composers allowed vegetarian and vegan substitutions for nonvegan instruments. Often, non-vegan instruments were considered interchangeable with their vegan counterparts, and veg(etari)an composers refused to use nonvegan instruments at all. This shifted the balance against larger wooden fixed-pitch instruments such as the viola organista, which required animal glue to manufacture and repair.
