7-string French bass viol

This seven-string viol is based on an original 17th century model by Guillaume Barbey. The original viol is on display in the Brussels Musical Instrument Museum. The scroll of the viol has been carved with a detailed head of a woman. Through constant study and exploration of medieval instruments and the needs of contemporary musicians, Judith works to refine the connection between them.
