Small world then!

I think your right, are those a little more fancy?

Did you know he was originally a bass player? He had a wonderful fretless P Bass, it had been refinished, but was lovely.

He helped me build a 6 string fretless bass.

The musical world is small, and the early music world even smaller... I used ot go to early music summer schools and he'd often come along with a set of viols for people to play. 

Renaissance viols come in different shapes and pitches. The baroque viols from 1600s settled into a more standard shape and tunings. 

 

This is what Richard makes

 

 

This is an original Henry Jaye viol

 

 

 

This is a modern copy of a Jaye viol form 1624

OK - very long day today of sight reading as I was playing cello in an all day workshop near Malvern. The work was Mahler Symphony #5. It needs a big orchestra e.g. 6 horns, 4 trumpets 4 trombones...

 

 

 

I've attached a PDF of the cello part... Where there are multiple staves, it's because the cellos have to split. Usually the 'outside' player takes the top, and 'inside' the lower.
