KITVIOLIN
Kit violin
The kit violin, dancing master's kit, or kit, is a stringed musical instrument. It is essentially a very small violin, designed to fit in a pocket — hence its other common name, the pochette . It was used by dance masters in royal courts and other places of nobility, as well as by street musicians up until around the 18th century. Occasionally, the rebec was used in the same way. Several are called for in Monteverdi's 1607 Orfeo.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Kit violin
