	Viol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike members of the violin family, which are tuned in fifths, the gamba is tuned in fourths and one third in the middle, mirroring the tuning employed on the lute during the sixteenth century and similar to that of the modern guitar.
		The gamba (as the name is often abbreviated for convenience) comes in 6 sizes: "pardessus de viole" (which is relatively rare), treble, alto, tenor, bass, and double bass (also known as a violone).
		The bass viola da gamba continued to be used (as a solo instrument and also to accompany the harpsichord in basso continuo) into the 18th century, by which time it had acquired associations of courtliness and antiquity; composers such as Marin Marais, Johann Sebastian Bach and Karl Friedrich Abel wrote music for it.

		Viols (short for viola da gamba) were popular in Europe, the dominant form of bowed string instrument, for approximately 250 years, roughly 1480 to 1780 in total (so shave 25 years off both ends to represent a fast ascend at the beginning and a fast decline at the end).
		The origin of the viola da gamba is to be found in the culturally heterogeneous Spain of the end of the 15th Century, more precisely, in the Kingdom of Aragon.

	Joseph Fiala (1748-1816) viola da gamba music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Fiala composed two trios for viola da gamba, violin and cello, presumably with harpsichord continuo, although this instrument is not mentioned in either surviving manuscript as such.
		The writing for the gamba, although hardly of a virtuosic nature, is yet far from conservative and involves much double stopped melodic writing in addition to scalic and arpeggic passage work so typical of the Classical era, the latter frequently in duet with the violin.
		The subsequent Allegro culminates in a virtuosic dizzy ascent for the gamba through three full octaves (a mixture of scale and arpeggio) over the space of just two bars immediately followed by a four and a half octave descending leap to a low A' that is beyond the range of the standard instrument.

	VIOLA DA GAMBA E VIOLONCELLO in
		Già intorno al 1660 la viola da gamba era quasi scomparsa dalla scena mentre continuò ad essere preferita fino a qualche decennio del 700 in Francia e Germania, paesi nei quali il cello era considerato strumento pesante dal suono ruvido.
		Il violoncello offriva indubbiamente molti più vantaggi rispetto alla viola da gamba: era più facile da suonare, aveva un maggior volume di suono e poteva sostituire abbastanza allegramente la viola da gamba in molti repertori.
		Anche oggi, se vogliamo, la viola da gamba è ancora cinta da una certa aura di nobiltà e di raffinata delicatezza e non troviamo molta gente disposta facilmente a mutuare l'uno con l'altro strumento.

	Basic open position chords for Viola da Gamba and Lute
		Viola da gambas do (sometimes) have quieter and softer voices then violins and cellos, particularly with the gut strings they were originally designed for, and in the more intimate chamber-music settings and forms they were typically used in.
		On six string gamba the 3rd is dead center in the tuning pattern, meaning moved over one string towards the bass side.
		On the other hand, for a six string guitarist to move to a seven string gamba will be less of a leap (conceptually and muscle memory wise) because at least the 6 lowest pitched strings of the new instrument will be exactly like his or her old familiar guitar patterns.

	:: Music on Tnt :: La Viola da gamba
		Lo strumento si diffonderà in tutta Europa con il nome di viola, con un numero di corde stabilitosi a sei, e la specifica da gamba verrà più tardi grazie agli esecutori italiani che prendendo spunto dal basso adotteranno una posizione più comoda, con lo strumento in piedi tra le ginocchia dell’esecutore.
		All’inizio del diciottesimo secolo però, anche a causa dell’enorme influenza della cultura musicale italiana sulle produzioni europee, il violino tenore e la viola da gamba uscirono di scena per far posto alla famiglia dei violini, dal suono più forte e brillante, che costituirono la moderna orchestra d’archi a quattro parti.
		La viola resistette invece come strumento solista, e nel corso del diciottesimo secolo fecero breve comparsa altri ibridi di viola e violino come il quinton, il baryton e l’arpeggione, e la già citata viola d’amore, anche se nessuno di questi sopravvisse a lungo e sviluppò un proprio repertorio.
