介绍（中）	钟形的Cittern是汉堡市的特产，被恰当地称为汉堡Cithrinchen。从大约 1650 年到 1750 年，它是一种时尚的乐器，从那时起有几个例子幸存下来。这个特殊的例子在白色的地面上用乌木叶子装饰华丽。柏树的腹部有三个由羊皮纸制成的玫瑰花结，并显示出原始绿色颜料的痕迹。钉盒上有摩尔国王的头。 Citterns是弹拨弦乐器，与琵琶和吉他有关，但用金属弦串起来，产生比肠弦更明亮，更响亮的声音。 cittern还镶嵌了金属品格，而不是琵琶和早期吉他上的捆绑肠品。琴弦的演奏者用拨片拨动五六道弦。城堡主要是一种继续用于传统音乐风格的民间乐器，在 16 世纪和 17 世纪被贵族提升为艺术乐器，其中一位可能最初拥有这种奢侈的乐器。
介绍（英）	The bell-shaped cittern was a specialty of the city of Hamburg and is properly referred to as the Hamburger Cithrinchen. It was a fashionable instrument from about 1650 to 1750 from which time several examples survive. This particular example is lavishly decorated with ebony foliate decoration on a white ground. The cypress belly has three rosettes made of parchment and showing traces of an original green pigment. The pegbox has the head of a Moorish king. Citterns are plucked stringed instruments, related to lutes and guitars, but strung with metal strings which produce a brighter and louder sound than gut strings. The cittern also has inlaid metal frets, as opposed to tied gut frets on lutes and early guitars. Players of the cittern use a plectrum to pluck the five or six courses of strings. Primarily a folk instrument that continues to be used in traditional musical styles, the cittern was elevated to the position of an art instrument by aristocrats in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, one of whom probably originally owned this extravagant instrument.
