Cuatro

Yes, not much to do with baroque instruments but it is repair work.
Nice instrument, made in Cuba by an unknown maker.
It has no neat finish but it sounds very nice.
The player, a well known musician and sound engineer in the region, was amazed at frets made out of gut on the viols "oh early music, what do we know rock players..."
But there you go, he is touring playing a descendant of the renaissance guitar taken by the spaniards to America in the XVI century...

Ez daka zerikusi haundirik antzinako musikarekin baina konponketa lan bat da ere.
Kuban egindako instrumentu bat, etiketa barik. Ez da oso fiña baña ala ta guztiz be sekulako soinua dauka.

Nada (o casi nada) que ver con la m´´usica antigua, pero otro trabajo de reparaci´´on.
Instrumento hecho en Cuba de autor desconocido. No excesivamente r4efinado pero con un sonido muy bueno.

7 string bass viol

Last viol I made.

7 string french bass viol, Bertrand small model.

I wish I could play properly (or I wish I had time to practice).

Bajo de viols de gamba francesa. 7 cuerdas. Modelo pequeño de Bertrand.

7 sokako biola baxua. Bertrand modelu txikia.
