====== Template for Instruments======
See also: [[:general:template_mfg]]
Please use this "template" to organize the information in a similar manner--that will make it easier for the public to find pertinent info. But be flexible--sections may be added, deleted or renamed if they do not apply.
You may wish to copy this "clean" template to paste into a new page:
*[[/doku.php?id=:general:template_clean&do=edit|template]]
\\
The "rule of thumb" is that each section should fit on about one screen--if there's too much info, just make references like [[more_info]], and then follow the link to create the new page(s).
====== [instrumentdesignation] ======
For [a similar or oft-associated instrument], see [[:organette:some_organette:]].
... see [[:organette:some_organette:]]
