i second this!

bundsaiteninstrumente is awful because it lets you think of an instrument
with fretted strings; gebunden and bundiert may be familiar to a lutenist or
manufacturer, but most people would associate some bindings or other fancy
things. in a musical context i would  first think of a legato.
