===Vegetarian and vegan instruments===

Since vegetarians, and more recently vegans, were and are important constituents of Talman societies, many composers allowed vegetarian and vegan substitutions for nonveg(etari)an instruments. Often, non-veg(etari)an instruments were considered interchangeable with their veg(etari)an counterparts, and veg(etari)an composers refused to use nonveg(etari)an instruments at all.

Often, non-veg(etari)an instruments were considered interchangeable with their veg(etari)an counterparts, and veg(etari)an composers refused to use nonveg(etari)an 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; hence JI music is still very common in Talman-derived cultures.

Unlike violin family instruments, Talman fiddles are vegetarian because they are made either from a single piece of wood or from interlocking pieces of wood that do not require gluing. Talman fiddles are also optimized to be less fragile. They are vegan if rosined sticks are substituted for horsehair bows. This shifted the balance against larger wooden fixed-pitch instruments such as the viola organista, which required animal glue to manufacture and repair; hence JI music is still very common in Talman-derived cultures.

Preferred vegetarian materials for strings were steel, copper, or cellulose from plant fibers, instead of animal gut, before the invention of modern synthetic materials. Vegans use rosined sticks instead of horsehair bows.
