Members RoboChrist Posted December 24, 2007 Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 I actually wouldn't mind getting one of these, the viola da gamba. It's a fretted six-stringed cello-like instrument that's tuned in fourths. How {censored}in' sweet is that? The woman playing it seems to have had an unfortunate accident or botched plastic surgery but try not to let her frighten you. Her playing more than makes up for it.

Members Zebra Posted December 24, 2007 Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 Frets and tuning in fourths? Looks like a bowed instrument I might have a chance at being able to play. I always thought those things were cool. Didn't realize they sounded so close to the typical viol family of instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I hear things like this I start to regret that I gave up on classical bass and have lost about all the skills I once had. Someday I'll get back into it. BTW with a range like that do they score for the gamba with multiple clefs like a piano score? That makes it even more impressive if so. I always sucked at reading C or treble clefs.

Members coyote-1 Posted December 24, 2007 Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 As there ought be. Check again... there are 7 strings on that bad boy I've wanted one of those viols for years. I'd seen a live performance on one many years ago, and then about three years ago caught a movie called (translated) "All The Mornings Of The World" about a da gamba teacher and student. Robo, thanks for the vid link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members coyote-1 Posted December 24, 2007 Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 That band actually kicks serious renaissance ass! Blackmore's still an awesome guitarist, and it turns out he can also play a mean hurdy-gurdy. WTF happened to Ritchie Blackmore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
