Treble Viol

Treble Viol after Henry Jaye, c. 1611

Bright and articulate, this treble sings the upper voice of a consort with clarity and grace. The Jaye model responds quickly to the underhand bow, lending a vocal quality to divisions and ornamented lines — a natural choice for the English and Italian repertoire.

Bass Viol

Bass Viol after Barak Norman, c. 1692

Warm, sonorous, and deeply resonant, the Norman bass carries the foundation of the consort with a singing lower register and effortless projection. Its generous corpus rewards both the sustained lines of the French repertoire and the virtuosic divisions of the English viol tradition.
