- The gue is an extinct type of two-stringed bowed lyre or zither from the Shetland Isles. The instrument was described in 1809 by Arthur Edmondston in View of the Ancient and Present State of the Zetland Islands: "Before violins were introduced, the musicians performed on an instrument called a gue, which appears to have had some similarity to the violin, but had only two strings of horse hair, and was played upon in the same manner as a violoncello." The exact details of the gue are unclear, but it possibly resembled extinct bowed lyres such as the Norwegian giga, or the extant Swedish and Estonian talharpa or Finnish jouhikko. However, other ethnomusicologists believe the gue more resembled the Icelandic fiðla, a two-stringed bowed zither. Peter Cooke notes the prevalence of the tautirut bowed zither among the Inuit peoples in areas of Canada influenced by Orkney and Shetland sailors, as possible evidence that the Inuit bowed zither is based on a Shetland model. The first person to recreate the Shetland gue for modern musicians was instrument maker and musician Corwen Broch of Ancient Music, who began making them in 2007. What he freely admits is a tentative reconstruction made initially for the purposes of experimental music archaeology was based largely on Scandinavian bowed lyre design and the surviving written descriptions as discussed in the works of Otto Andersson. In 2009, Corwen was commissioned to make a reconstruction for the Shetland Museum. In 2012, luthier Michael J. King asked to use Corwen's design in a CD-rom of instrument plans. So far all subsequent interpretations of the instrument by other makers draw heavily on Corwen Broch's initial design. (en)
- El gue es un tipo de instrumento musical de cuerdas extinto. Es un tipo de lira de arco o cítara de dos cuerdas de las islas Shetland. Extinto en la actualidad, existen registros que indican que el instrumento estuvo en uso por lo menos hasta 1809, siendo descrito en las obras de sir . No se conocen con precisión los detalles exactos del gue, pero probablemente se asemejara a las liras de arco extintas tales como la noruega, o la sueca o estonia o la jouhikko finlandesa. Sin embargo, otros musicólogos consideran que el gue se asemejaba en mayor medida a la fiðla de Islandia, una cítara de arco de dos cuerdas. Peter Cooke hace notar que la existencia de la cítara de arco entre los pueblos inuit en zonas de Canadá influidos por marineros de Orkney y Shetland, puede ser interpretada como evidencia que la cítara de arco inuit se basa en el modelo de Shetland. La primera persona en recrear el gue de Shetland para su uso por músicos modernos fue el lutier y músico Corwen Broch de Ancient Music, que los comenzó a construir en el 2007. Admite que la suya es una reconstrucción tentativa desarrollada para investigaciones de arqueología musical basada en gran medida en el diseño de la lira de arco escandinava y descripciones escritas de las obras de Otto Andersson.
