<My apologies and thanks for the corrections Chris. I should have known I'd irk a De Gamba guy out there somewhere. :)
No apologies needed and I was hardly "irked" - just wanted to provide a bit of information. <I think you'd have to agree that more people know what a violin is than what a Viol d' Gamba is. Of course, but i think you'll find that more people know what a viola da gamba is than what nsp are - and people are writing new music for it.
