Treble viol based on model: Henry Jaye 1667
TECHNICAL DATA
- String lenght: 400 mm
- Body lenght: 410 mm
Soundboard: Val di Fiemme spruce, 5 bent pieces
Back and sides: Italian flamed walnut
Neck: Italian flamed walnut
F/board and T/piece: Italian flamed walnut
Pegs, nut and nail: Ebony and bone
Varnish: Oil, fossil amber based and natural pigments
COMMENT:
This is by far our favourite treble model. With a string lenght of 40 cm we like to define it “the little big one” and this definition fits perfectly also for its sound and technical aspects. The little/big body brings out a strong voice, with a very present low range and sweet, clean and round high notes. The proportions make it confortable to play with and the fairly big nut is capable to follow the most virtuosistic repertoires. We like to make this instrument with fruit woods as Pear Wood, Walnut and Cherry Wood, in order to enhance the balance between the notes and with the aim of the sweetest sound colour. A little/big jewel of the English tradition.
