Notes

  1. Bass violin is the modern term for various 16th and 17th-century bass instruments of the violin (i.e. “viola da braccio”) family. They were the direct ancestor of the modern cello. Bass violins were usually somewhat larger than the modern cello, but tuned the same or sometimes just one step lower than it.
Violon (Peter Lely, 1640)
A “great bass viol” or violone, painting by Sir Peter Lely, c. 1640, showing the large size and typical violin shape of a bass violin. Sir Peter Lely (14 September 1618 – 30 November 1680) was a painter of Dutch origin, whose career was nearly all spent in England, where he became the dominant portrait painter to the court.
