Dear all, I have a question regarding the overlap in repertoire between the viola bastarda and Terzi. In his second book (1599) he includes Chi farà fede [Striggio] with the note, "... accommodato à modo di Viola bastarda per suonar in Concerto con Liutto grande". I take it to mean that it's 'in the style of' the v.b. and not actually for the v.b. but I was wondering if there were viols with the necessary 7th string a 4th below #6 at the time suitable for this rep. Any thoughts on this? Sean
