Treble Viol after Henry Jaye (1620) by Lu-Mi

This Lu-Mi six-string treble viol is modeled after a 1620 original by Henry Jaye. It is the smaller of the two Lu-Mi treble viol models. The bass register does not play as well with all plain gut strings, but the high register produces a sweet tone. The plain model features good-quality, aged wood, a matte finished, and minimal decorative purfling around the edges of the instrument. The fingerboard and tailpiece are solid, plain maple and the pegs are rosewood. The decorative model features a high-quality, fine-grain wood with a thick, glossy finish and ornate decorative purfling on the belly, back and edges of the instrument. The fingerboard and tailpiece will either have an ebony veneer, a burled maple veneer, or an ebony veneer with a maple border. Pegs are also of ebony. On a decorated model, the pegbox can also be carved with a decorative inlay for an extra charge. Dimensions:  String length 366mm Corpus length 362mm Corpus width 173mm x 120mm x 211mm
