Tertsu puntu (m)

(with) definite article: ? [su?]
(the) 3rd (third) point [key]
Identical types: 29

Obsolete name, discovered (late 1950-1960s) by Dionigi Burranca; According to Weis Bentzon it had "a very deep key such as that of the kontrappuntu"; Bakx mentions it as one of 8 obsolete or rarely used types (the other 7 being the Fiorassiu argentinu, Fiuda allirga, Fiuda bagadia in fa minore, Mediana in re maggiore, Mesu puntu, Morisku, and Punt’’e Kirias), stating that some (though failing to specify which) of these are, as he calls them, "fake" kuntsertus.
