[edit] Origins
The Bronze Age article states that bronze was developed by the Maykops (see Maykop culture). Is there a reason why this article states differently? --Brunnock 14:05, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
The article says - Phoenician traders visited Great Britain to trade goods from the Mediterranean for tin.[citation needed]- Quite right, a citation is needed and some evidence that the Phoenicians did any such thing. --Alphasierra (talk) 22:38, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
I shifted my remarks upon "History" here because it addresses the same topics:
Up to now, it is in fact in no way proven that Phoenicians ever visited Cornwall for trading tin. HJJHolm (talk) 16:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Further, we urgently need serious attestations for the dates of earliest use. HJJHolm (talk) 07:16, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Musical Instruments: timbre of cymbals and bells - deletion recommended.
I think the line: As the tin content in a bell or cymbal rises, the timbre drops.[11]" could be deleted as it doesn't make sense to me. Timbre is the characteristic of a sound which makes it distinct from other sounds: it is not something that rises or drops. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.162.32 (talk) 03:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Seconded. Total garbage.208.89.21.34 (talk) 15:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Bronze in piano strings
According to the piano article of Wikipedia bass strings are wrapped with copper. That is what I though but I'm not confident enough to edit this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.100.243.19 (talk) 12:40, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
