“This bass viola da gamba, with six strings, English model, Barak Norman, was built on the customer’s request.
Characteristic elements are the carvings and decorations made with purfling inserts on top, back and ribs.
Rich in carvings is also the sculpted head made on the model of the original. It is typical to find these specific ornamental motifs in English instruments.”
