Unless Colonna devised more than one meantone keyboard instrument, I take the instrument mentioned in this biography to be his Sambuca Lincea (1618), so that the reference to a division of the octave into 17 parts, and the tone into 3 parts, should be corrected to 31 parts and 5 parts respectively. As one of Colonna's musical examples shows, like Nicola Vicentino's first tuning system on his archicembalo and arciorgano (1555, 1561), this is a circulating 31-note meantone system likely tempered at 1/4-comma for pure 5/4 major thirds, with each tone divided into 5 near-equal dieses or fifthtone steps. While I could go more into Colonna's keyboard design (some of it borrowed from an instrument by his colleague Scipione Stella), the correction to a 31-note system with 5 parts for each tone (and 3 for each meantone diatonic semitone) looks like a simple edit where we may go boldly. 208.106.7.88 (talk) 18:25, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
