Since vegetarians and 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. This also shifted the balance towards fixed pitch instruments (such as the viola organista), and therefore equal temperaments. | Since vegetarians and vegans were and are important constituents of Talman societies, many composers allowed vegetarian and vegan substitutions for nonveg(etari)an instruments.

The main instrument family that historically required substitution was fiddles (the ''ŋams'' family and the violin family), which needed gelatin glue or hoof glue to manufacture and repair. Hence historically they were allowed to be swapped out for other fixed pitch instruments (such as trombones, and in the modern era, electric fiddles). | The main instrument family that historically required substitution was fiddles (the ''ŋams'' family and the violin family), which needed gelatin glue or hoof glue to manufacture and repair.
