  • 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.

  • 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.

  • can i ask what size is this cello?

  • 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#Vio­loncello_da_spalla

  • @ElletrikaProductions , is there any difference?

  • It's a Violoncello da Spalla, not a viola da spalla.
