German treble viol
18th century German treble viol. Treble viols have a similar
size to a viola but is characterised by its deeper body. A treble
viol is tuned in D, with ascending perfect fourths with
the exception of a major third between strings 3 and 4.
This treble viol presents with eye-catching details. Its
back and ribs feature alternate bands of ebony and walnut with
ivory purfling, and its tailpiece and fingerboard overlaid with
ivory and inlaid in ebony with scrolling foliage. The table also
has an inset ivory rose.
