Larry Stout Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 One fiddle, one 14 string viola, Just curious, since I also play one, was that a 7+7 viola d'amore? (7 strings above the fingerboard, 7 sympathetic strings under) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kautilya Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 One fiddle, one 14 string viola, Just curious, since I also play one, was that a 7+7 viola d'amore? (7 strings above the fingerboard, 7 sympathetic strings under) Yup - spot on! And the 'controls' looked like the command bridge of Battlestar Galactica. And it came from that great musical centre of the Universe - Enfield. And owner (classically trained on piano) is looking for someone to introduce him to the wonders of playing non-classical, enjoyable stuff by ear without the dots... Didnt get contact details but I know a man who knows a man who can get them and you could play together on Skype....... as Enfield to Normal is not just down the road!
