to me the Viola De Gamba is like the Guitar and Cello's love child, now this anachronistic, but still it provides a lot of the benefits of both. Beautiful instrument sir.
Herr Keller, this is amazingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing! I wonder why violas da gamba don't come with pins. Seems they would be easier to hold, no?
@fiandrhi the end pin thats on modern cellos and basses was invented long after the viola da gamba family fell out of favor to the modern violin family. Early cellist didn't use end pins either.
Bravissimo, MAESTRO!!! We are delighted!!! Thank you for your wonderful music and for your wonderful talent!!! Sincerely with love and admiration your friends Olga & Vladimir Krylov.
@zeevgut The viola da gamba is tuned in 4ths with a 3rd in the middle. Its lowest tone is D, a major 2nd above the low C on the cello. Its highest tuned string, the first, is also tuned to d.
@reppindat808 Thanks for your comment. I am really glad you like it. Just wanted to add that its a viola da gamba I am playing and not a cello (though I play cello too!).
do you have any CD's?

Thank you. Lovely piece! It's about time that improvisation returned to its proper place in traditional music!
