Line 77:

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.

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. 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.

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.

Line 83:

Horsehair in bows are considered vegetarian but not vegan. Vegans use rosined sticks instead of horsehair bows.

Since the invention of cell-cultured gelatin in Fyxoom, ~~such~~ substitutions are no longer required for instruments that required gluing.

Some common historical substitutions:

*Trombones, slide flutes, or other free-pitch wind instruments for fiddles.

*Organs for viola organistas.

Since the invention of cell-cultured gelatin in Fyxoom, vegetarian substitutions are no longer required for instruments that required gluing.

Below, V is shown next to vegetarian instruments; Ⓥ is shown next to vegan ones.
