Wendt & Kühn, Angel with viola da gamba
NEW
Wendt & Kühn
Angel with viola da gamba
Height ca. 5 cm
“Legged violin” is the literal translation of viola da gamba.
And the legs of the new angel musician are indeed very important, as he plays his instrument between his knees.
When he gently strokes the strings, the warm, full sound of this viola, which has its origins in the Renaissance and was particularly popular in the Baroque era, resounds.
At least as fascinating as the history of the instrument is its manufacture in the Wendt & Kühn workshop:
True dexterity is required when the tiny tuning pegs are placed on the bridge and the wafer-thin strings are painted on the delicate instrument - much smaller than the well-known violoncello or double bass, for example.
