The vielle and the rotta are two instruments that were commonly used in Europe during the 11th century.

True/False

It's TRUE

Explanation:

The vielle is the predecessor of the modern violin. It appeared in Europe in the 12th century, possibly as a derivation of the Byzantine lyre, which, in turn, was a version of the Arabic rabāb. The medieval vielle varied in size and shape. On the other hand, the rotta derivates from the Greek cithara, and it's similar to it, with small differences such as size, the number of strings, and the sound.
