Music year 1535
Viola da braccio
The viola da braccio ("arm violin", from Italian viola "violin" and braccio "arm") - seen here on a fresco by Gaudenzio Ferrari in Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Saronno (around 1535) - is the collective name for the family of String instruments in violin form that appeared in the 16th century. Both the name of today's viola and its Italian name Viola are derived from the original name Viola da braccio. The name refers to the arm position of these instruments in contrast to the instruments of the viola da gamba-Family held between the knees. An exception is the viola da braccio bass instrument, which is also held between the knees, but without floor support and "sting" as is the case with today's violoncello . The first instruments of the viola da braccio family were built in Italy from around 1530. After the early form with three strings, the four-string instrument developed into one without string frets with a tuning in fifths . In this family, instruments of various sizes and moods are called soprano, alto, tenor and bass viola da braccio.
