A Music Instrument Within The Heritage of Science and Technique Museum: The Viella

Summary/Abstract: In the present study the authors consider a music instrument of the collection of "Stefan Procopiu" Science and Technique Museum, the viella, which is very interesting for both ethnographers and specialists from the history of technique. Following a short history of the viella, the authors analyze its spread on the Romanian space, its origin and the supposed author, trying a new dating of the object, taking into account ethnological and linguistic criteria. Moreover, the study points out the ornamental similarities of this viella and other items in the collections of museums in Germany and Switzerland, while future research can bring further evidence on the completion of this subject.
