The Viol or Viola da gamba

 Even if you've never heard of the viol, or heard one played, you've probably seen one in renaissance paintings.

​Although they look like old cellos, they are actually related more closely to the guitar! Viols have frets and 6 strings, like a guitar, but use a bow, like a cello. ​As a beginner, having frets is a wonderful thing!

​Viols come in 3 main sizes:
  • ​treble
  • tenor
  • bass
​but other sizes and types exist.
