===Minstrels' gallery=== [[File:Exeter Cathedral Minstrels' Gallery.jpg|thumb|The Minstrels' Gallery]] The [[minstrels' gallery]] in the nave dates to around 1360 and is unique in English cathedrals. Its front is decorated with 12 carved and painted angels playing medieval musical instruments, including the [[cittern]], [[bagpipe]], [[hautboy]], [[crwth]], [[harp]], [[trumpet]], [[organ (music)|organ]], [[guitar]], [[tambourine]] and [[cymbal]]s, with two others which are uncertain.<ref>Addleshaw (1921) p. 36</ref> Since the above list was compiled in 1921, research among musicologists has revised how some of the instruments are called in modern times. Using revised names, the list should now read from left to right [[gittern]], bagpipe, [[shawm]], [[vielle]], harp, [[jew's harp]], trumpet, organ, [[citole]], [[recorder (instrument)|recorder]], tambourine, cymbals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://prydein.com/pipes/exeter/index.html |title=Bagpipe Paintings: The Bagpiper of Exeter |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |website=prydein.com |publisher=Prydein, American Celtic-Rock |access-date=17 December 2016 |quote=[photos of the Minstrels Gallery] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160731025716/http://www.prydein.com/pipes/exeter/index.html |archive-date=31 July 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> {{-}}
