Not seeing any notability for trembulo or tiplito

I googled up "trembulo" as well as the names of the luthiers given, found nothing. I also googled "tiplito" and found nothing, and that instrument's description is even more generic to the point of being meaningless. Does it just describe some type of tiple requinto? The description sounds awfully like a tenor 8-string ukulele. Unless someone has access to a reputable source proving notability, I submit those entries be deleted.

I agree that Trembulo should be removed as there are no sources to be found. Tiplito however does seem to have sources, even as merely a generic term for a small tiple. I think also that the Argentinian and Uruguayan tiples would be more accurately dfescribed as requinto guitars. Thoughts? Claireislovely (talk) 08:59, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

But is tiplito actually worth listing separately as a distinct type of tiple as opposed to a simple description as "small"? So far as the Argentine and Uruguayan: it's not so much a matter of whether they are small guitars so much as whether they are generally known by the term timple. If the Southerners actually just call them requintos and someone lumped them in here because they resemble tiples, they should be removed. But if the average Argentine/Uruguayan musician calls them a tiple they should be retained. MatthewVanitas (talk) 09:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Good points, and I agree on both. More research is clearly needed. I like the idea of replacing the Tiplito bit with a short description simply describing it as a smaller tiple, but where should this go? Claireislovely (talk) 17:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Classifying hybrid instruments, particularly those in which the hybridization may have occured centuries ago, is always a challenge. The trembulo and termbulo fusao are actually instruments in their own right. They share a number of features with charangos and tenor ukeleles, but they also share features in common with tiples. Since the information of the trembulo appears in the section headed "related instruments," I think it's appropriate to keep it there. The trembulo is, indeed, quite likely related to the tiple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.174.105 (talk) 00:18, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Links

The "Guild of American Luthiers" link is dead. The link to Paredes' site raises a question: in what units are the prices being shown? Is he really selling his Tiples for between $3.55 _million_ and $5.70 _million_ dollars, each?

Merge?

Would like to suggest merging this article with the general Colombian tiple article. There is good content in both, but both are fairly short articles, and they do overlap somewhat. This Columbian tiple article would beef up the section on tiple Colombiano in this article nicely, I think.

It would also be nice to add a short list of notable tiplistas.

• I have added in-line references to most sections in this article.
• Someone has fleshed-out the Columbian tiple article nicely, with a thorough history section and sources.
• This being the case, the two articles each now stand nicely on their own now, and I withdraw my request for a merge.
• It would still be nice to add a few noted tiplistas to either, or both articles.
