Usage notes
editThe most prominent of the tiple instruments in English writing is the Colombian version of the instrument -- the Colombian tiple -- and it is that one which is probably referred to if the context doesn't specify it. The other instruments called tiple are largely unrelated to the Colombian version. See Appendix:Glossary of chordophones for a more detailed explanation.
