1879 G. Grove Dict. Music I. 89/1 Arpeggione, or Guitar Violoncello, a stringed instrument, played with a bow, which was invented by G. Staufer, of Vienna, in 1823.
1959 Chambers's Encycl. XIV. 328/1 The arpeggione, now completely forgotten, derives some importance from the fact that no less a composer than Franz Schubert wrote a sonata for arpeggione and pianoforte.
