I got at least one of my more important images originally from you a while back, the Gilling Castle mixed consort which includes three viols (besides the cittern and lute), and as it turns out all three of those viols are played on the arm or lap, not vertical "da gamba". I don't have a color version of the alto instrument so I'll use this BW series so you can see all three together, a matched set. http://www.thecipher.com/braccio_GillingCastle_3viols_Eng16th_med.jpg now that I remember, here's a less cropped detail of the BW dai Libri picture http://www.thecipher.com/Cittern_GirolamoDaiLibri_Verona_1520_lrg_BW.jpg I'll be looking forward to your growing collection and link over to you the next time I'm editing my site. Thanks Roger To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
