The viola da spalla... a pseudo-cello as a violin? Or maybe it's being held more like a guitar? Kind of challenges one's preconceptions. Lovely tone. Nicely played!
How about a violin as a pseudo-cello or maybe a pseudo-viol? Hope you like my video.
The infinite variability of a fret-less stringed instrument gives nobody a free ride.The bottom line? From above or below, big or small...what comes out is all up to the player's willpower and imagination.

Next time try playing a double bass hanging on your neck LOL

@Max0Inq I find it extremely hard to make it sound, apart from not being very confortable

@pugay69 Yes. But so are cello and violin too.

@Max0Inq Have you noticed how awkward it looks to hold??

I saw his brother in Lugano, fantastic!

@MrVadiaRotor Yes, I believe viola da spalla doesn't exist, only the common viola. This is the violoncello da Spalla, a antique instrument who it's believed to exist before the modern cello.
Any doubts, check out Wikipedia: wiki/Violoncello_da_spalla#Vio

It's a Violoncello da Spalla, not a viola da spalla.
always wear safety glasses playing Bach.

This language seems to be harmful to speak :/
Anyway, anyone know why is this instrument no longer in (common) use?
I mean if there's an instrument a bit lower sounding than violin - the viola - there is stil a big gap between viola and cello so viola pomposa could be the compromise.
