The bass viola da gamba, a beautiful instrument that is about the size of the cello but with six/seven strings and frets (much like a lute or guitar)... It is usually played with a bow but can also be played with the fingers. An extremely versatile instrument, there are many sounds that can be achieved with various forms of attack. In 2017 I plan to bring the gamba closer to our times by incorporating a loop station. This will work wonderfully with the baroque technique "ground bass" or "basso ostinato" as well as with modern songs and movie soundtracks.
