I made this bass viol after a 1624 original by Henry Jaye.
It is made from spruce and maple, with a 7-piece bent-stave soundboard. The pegs and nut are stained boxwood, and the hook bar is service wood. I chose to experiment with the decoration, including an alternative take on a pierced scroll, and my own design of purfling.
While this instrument is not for sale I would love to make more viols, particularly in the late 16th and early 17th century English style of makers like John Rose and Henry Jaye.
