Although radiocarbon (14C) dating is commonly used for archeological music instruments, little research has been conducted on modern instruments (16th–19th centuries). New technology, based on the Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS), enables some of the recurring challenges (e.g. sampling size) to be circumvented and paves the way for a new field of investigation. We here address the Indian instrumentarium, about which very little is known. We investigate the making and the restoration phases of two vina, a kinnari vina (E.1444), and a rudra vina or bin (E.997.24.1). By comparing 14C measurements made on several samplings of elements of the instruments with museological information, we were able to specify a unique calibrated interval of ages [1666 AD–1690 AD] for the kinnari vina, with a restoration phase [1678 AD–1766 AD] for the upper nut. The bin is likely attributed to the [1650 AD–1683 AD] interval.

传统乐器收藏的放射性碳年代测定：来自巴黎音乐博物馆的传统印度维纳的例子

虽然放射性碳（14C) 年代测定通常用于考古乐器，对现代乐器（16-19 世纪）的研究很少。基于迷你碳测年系统 (MICADAS) 的新技术能够规避一些反复出现的挑战（例如采样量），并为新的调查领域铺平道路。我们在这里讨论印度的仪器仪表，对此知之甚少。我们调查了两个的制作和修复阶段维娜， 一种金纳里维纳（E.1444）和一个鲁德拉维纳要么斌(E.997.24.1)。通过比较14对具有博物馆学信息的仪器元素的几个样本进行的 C 测量，我们能够为金纳里维纳, 上螺母有一个修复阶段 [1678 AD–1766 AD]。这斌可能归因于 [1650 AD–1683 AD] 区间。
