Viola BraguesaViola braguesa – Per Portuguese orthography, locations used as adjectives are lower-case, and a glance at GoogleBooks shows this is carried over in English as well. Request moving to viola braguesa, which currently re-directs here and prevents my moving it manually. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:37, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent description of tunings[edit]

Article states that the tuning of the viola braguesa requinta is a fifth above the tuning of the standard viola braguesa, but the tunings given in the article for the two instruments are NOT a fifth apart. Gambaguru (talk) 10:40, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gambaguru, I think I have an untimely answer for your observation. There seem to be a number of tunings for this instrument, found on the Portuguese Wikipedia article, pt:Violas portuguesas. Looking at the history and sources for the English article, it seems that the second tuning (that should be a fifth above) was not calculated off the tuning in the article. I think I would like to import the Portuguese article and incorporate this English article's contents into the imported Portuguese article. I need to print it off and make sure of all the tunings--Google translate is not understanding that ti (as in: do re mi fa so la ti do) can be transliterated as si, as well as other translation errors.
