The picture, of the "Warwick Castle gittern," is of a mislabelled instrument which, by all modern accounts, is actually a cithole. Furthermore, the face of the instrument, which is practically all that is visible in the photo, is a sixteenth-century modification which tries to turn the cithole into a violin. It would be better to find a permitted photo of a medieval depiction or a modern reconstruction of an actual gittern, or maybe both.208.100.230.206 18:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
