Late Jörg Eggebrecht performs Haydn's Divertimento No. 113 in D major (last part) on the rare baryton instrument, supported by the other "Munich Baryton Trio" players.
From Wikipedia:
"The baryton is a bowed string instrument in the viol family, in regular use in Europe up until the end of the 18th century. It most likely fell out of favor due to its immense difficulty to play. Its size is comparable to that of a violoncello; it has seven or sometimes six bowed strings of gut, plus from nine to twenty-four sympathetic wire strings (most often twelve). The gut strings are bowed while the wire strings are plucked by the thumb of the performer in order to create a contrasting tonal quality."
Hermoso! :-)

This is not just a last part. As you can hear, It contains two parts:
"Baryton Trio No. 113 in D major - part 2. Allegro di molto"
"Baryton Trio No. 113 in D major - part 3. Menuet: Allegretto" (partially)
