ABOUT THE VIOL
A viol (which rhymes with 'smile') is a bowed, fretted string instrument which typically has six strings. Viols come in many shapes and sizes but all are held vertically between the legs. Hence, the Italians called the instrument 'viola da gamba,' literally a 'leg fiddle'! Whether you say 'viol,' 'viola da gamba,' or just 'gamba,'doesn't matter.
MAKERS / REPAIRERS
A directory of viola da gamba makers and repair. It takes a village to make a viol and keep it playing. The Society has compiled this list as a resource for our members and for the larger viol community.CONCLAVE 2021
