| The Cittern, a Renaissance instrument that may be a descendent of the citole, is equipped with metal strings. |
| Any one of us could get in more local colour for the money, and give the crusader a cithern or citole instead of a guitar. |
| Add the principle of stopping the strings with the fingers of the left hand, and the citole becomes the zither. |
| There is definite documentary evidence that both the citole and the gittern were normally strung in gut. |
| An instrument similar to the dulcimer was the citole, the chief difference being that the strings were plucked with the fingers. |
| The citole is the medieval guitar, known only from pictures in manuscripts and statues on churches. |
