small 7-string bass viol
after Claude Pierray, Paris 1709
Here we have a copy of a very small 7-string bass viol. Pierray was making at the same time as Nicolas Bertrand in Paris, about twenty years later then Colichon. On this instrument the belly is carved, has double purfling and short soundholes that are placed very close to the edge. The head and pegbox are typical French.
Body length 63.9 cm, string length ca. 67.8 cm.
