Talk:Ripsaw music

Paragraph 3 - 'guido' or 'guiro'?
Nice article. Upon reading paragraph 3 " Though little is known for certain about ripsaw's genesis, two major theories include that the instrument was played to imitate the sound of the [guido], a Dominican and Haitian accordion..." it struck me as unfeasible that a percussive scraping saw could imitate any type of accordian, nor could I find an article on such a [guido], so I think it is far more likely that this should read "guiro" - which is not any type of accordian but is rather a scraping percussion instrument of South and Central America. On the other hand "guido" rather than "guiro" is the spelling used in the |external link but that reference does not say that a guido is a type of accordian. I suspect 'guido' may be a local spelling of 'guiro' but I will make no amendment given that I know nothing about any of this, (although I do have a guiro!) - for future editors.SeventhHell (talk) 05:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
