One of the videos has the name Tobias Hume. Maybe him?

I Doe not studie Eloquence, or profess Musicke, although I doe love Sence, and affect Harmony: my Profession being, as my Education hath beene, Armes, the onely effeminate part of me, hath beene Musicke; which in mee hath beene alwayes Generous, because never Mercenarie. To prayse Musicke, were to say, the Sunne is bright. To extoll my selfe, would name my labors vaine glorious. Onely this, mu studies are far from servile imitations, I robbe no others inventions, I take no Italian Note to an English dittie, or filch fragments of Songs to stuffe out my volumes. There are mine own Phansies expressed by my proper Genius, which if thou dost dislike, let me see thine, Carpere vel noli nostra, vel ede tua, Now to use a modest shortnes, and a briefe expression of my seffe to all noble spirites, thus, My title expresseth my Bookes Contents, which (if my Hopes faile me not) shall not deceive their expectation, in whose approvement the crowne of my labors resteth. And from henceforth, the stateful instrument Gambo Violl shall with ease yeelde full various and as devicefull Musicke as the Lute. For here I protest the Trinitie of Musicke, parts, Passion and Division, to be as gracefully united in the Gambo Violl, as in the most received Instrument that is, which here with a Souldiers Resolution, I give up to the acceptance of at noble dispositions.

I doubt if it's him, he's been a little "indisposed" since 1645.

Tobias Hume (c. 1569 - April 16, 1645) was an English composer, viol player and soldier.

On the ball Stephen as usual

I have been enjoying the playing of Tentreb EC on Utube

Al,

I don't want to "out" him if he prefers to remain anonymous, but I believe he may be a certain C.net member in Southern California, whose interests are listed as including "Arranging lute music for the English concertina. Jazz standards" and who has a very similar looking concertina as his avatar...

I've enjoyed his playing too, in fact I've favourited his rendition of Touch Me Lightly.

Oh yes it's

For those not familiar with the Viola da Gamba, it is a fretted bowed instrument (usually with 6 strings) with a similar range to that of the cello (which replaced it in the mid 18th century) and related to the guitar family.
