| | Viol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unlike members of the violin family, which are tuned in fifths, the gamba is tuned in fourths and one third in the middle, mirroring the tuning employed on the lute during the sixteenth century and similar to that of the modern guitar. | | | Gamba ensembles, called consorts, were common in the 16th and 17th centuries, when they performed vocal music (consort songs or verse anthems) as well as that written specifically for instruments. | | | Some texts have stated that the gamba was a forerunner to the violin family, but there is no historical evidence for this at all. |

| | What's a viola da gamba? |
| | Cellos (and violins and violas) are tuned in fifths. | | | The sound of the viol is sweet and shimmering, quieter than that of violins, violas, or cellos. | | | The smallest, highest-sounding member is a treble viol, equivalent to the violin. |

| | Directory - Arts: Music: Instruments: Stringed: Bowed Strings: Viola da Gamba |
| | The Viola de Gamba is a cello-sized "viol." Viols were bowed, fretted, stringed instruments, derived from guitars, and predecessors of the modern bowed strings: violin, viola, cello, and double bass. | | | The viola de gamba's rich sound kept it in use after the modern violin and viola had supplanted the smaller viols; but by 1750 the more powerful cello was replacing it too. | | | With the newed interest in period instruments (and the easy availability of chamber music recordings suitable for the, well, chambers we live in) the viola de gamba is enchanting a new generation of listeners. |

| | Joseph Fiala (1748-1816) viola da gamba music |
| | Fiala composed two trios for viola da gamba, violin and cello, presumably with harpsichord continuo, although this instrument is not mentioned in either surviving manuscript as such. | | | The writing for the gamba, although hardly of a virtuosic nature, is yet far from conservative and involves much double stopped melodic writing in addition to scalic and arpeggic passage work so typical of the Classical era, the latter frequently in duet with the violin. | | | He probably preferred the lighter and more intimate gamba timbre for solo and chamber music use and the dynamically and tonally more prominent cello for his actual employment, is the court orchestra. |

| | The Cipher for Viola da Gamba (and 6 course Lute) @TheCipher.com |
| | Viola da gamba were fretted, bowed, 4, 5, 6, or 7 string instruments tuned in Perfect 4ths with a Major 3rd interval at or near the middle of the tuning pattern. | | | Most recently, is an imagined dialogue between a viol and cello, written by Paolo Pandolfo (modern day viola da gamba virtuoso) for the liner notes of one of his CD recordings -- being an adaptation of Bach’s six cello suites played on solo bass viola da gamba (aka bowed guitar). | | | The waist-cut viola sine arculo guitar specifically (we’ll call it violin shape guitar to make it easy, even though violins took there shape from these earlier instruments, not the other way around), not the pea-nut shaped smooth curved vihuelas, is the first key missing link. |
