Italian term

catenacciatura

Italian to English Other Music
Come prima.
La domanda è:
Come si chiama l'asticella posta all'interno della cassa armonica che serve a trasmettere le vibrazioni al fondo dello strumento?
e fra le risposte c'è la parola "catenacciatura".
Non trovo il corrispondente adatto in inglese.
Grazie

You might want to have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin - It has all the violin parts listed in English.

If you're having difficulty translating any of the incorrect answers, you could probably just put in any old word that's not the right answer!
traduzionigs (asker) Mar 21, 2010:
I think your suggestion is right.
traduzionigs (asker) Mar 21, 2010:
I am translating some quizzes about music. The instrument is the violin. With the state "fra le risposte" I mean that there are four answers, but only one is right. The others are wrong.
philgoddard Mar 21, 2010:
Sorry, I've just realised that this follows on from your previous question, that the instrument is a violin, and this is a multiple choice question (perhaps you should explain that).
philgoddard Mar 21, 2010:
What is the instrument?
And what do you mean "fra le risposte"? Have different people given different answers? Is this the right or wrong answer?
I found "rollerboard" as a translation with relation to organs:

rollerboard

This term relates to organs. Since the asker explained in a previous question that this is a multiple-choice test about violins, it's clearly one of the incorrect answers.
Example sentence:

Old Italian mechanisms such as the catenacciatura (rollerboard) and meccanica sospesa (suspended action) were reintroduced...

Note from asker:
Thank You.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Lucrezia Amedeo : I found rollerboard as being "tavola di derivazione": part of the "catenacciatura" which apparently are "organi di trasmissione" http://www.virtualsorrento.com/it/arti/musica/organo/trasmis...
