Hello,
I would like to here what you think about this:

I'm updating a database which contains instrumentation description and got to decide the most suitable criteria (regarding the linguistic aspect) for instrument's composite names. Which, between the following, would you find most correct:

1.      Diatonic Soprano Xylophone
2.      Soprano Diatonic Xylophone
3.      Soprano Xylophone (Diatonic)
4.      Xylophone (Soprano Diatonic)


Thank you Giovanni

Well, since this would presumeably only come up in reference to Orff-type instruments, I'd favor #1.
