Talk:Cantaro

Etymology
What is the etymology of this instrument's name? Badagnani (talk) 01:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * At a guess, I'd say direct from the spanish el cántaro "pitcher, jug", which the instrument essentially is. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 03:03, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, cantaros would appear to be a traditional Iberian instrument, ie not solely a mexican innovation. See for eg pt:Cântaro com abano. No doubt instruments of this form and use are used elsewhere as well, only under other corresponding local names. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 03:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
