Description

The master 6-string Division Bass Viol after Barak Norman (ca1692). The Barak Norman division bass viol has a slightly shorter string length designed specifically for renaissance solo bass viol repertoire. The division bass viol is also a perfect bass for a player with smaller hands. This Lu-Mi viol is made from very high quality wood and combines excellent craftsmanship with a full, rich, rounded sound and a beautiful appearance. The ribs, back and neck are made of sycamore, the top of spruce, and the fingerboard and tailpiece of sycamore with ebony veneer or birds-eye maple. The wood is fully kiln-dried for stability.

String length: 658 mm

Corpus length: 633 mm

Corpus width: Up 279 mm / Mid 204 mm / Low 332 mm

About Lu-Mi

The Lu Mi range of instruments is the result of years of development and refinement overseen by Markku Luolajan-Mikkola, the leading Finnish gamba player. They are instruments designed by a player of distinction with other professional performers in mind, and are faithful to the authentic light construction techniques of early strings.
