I am a performer and teacher, specializing in the viola da gamba, violone and contrabasses
of the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras.
People regularly ask me how to get more information about the history of these instruments
and their repertoires and where to buy instruments and supplies for period instrument performance.
After all, one cannot walk into just any shop to buy a good instrument or bow, nor
does one usually find music or books for them on the local shelves. Yet these items are available,
if one knows the right places to look. And with the convenience of the internet, it is now fast
and easy to purchase many items online.
This website has been designed specifically as a resource. I do not make money from it - I just
aim to pass information along. Whether you are interested in scanning a collection of musical iconography,
looking at a specific treatise, shopping for an instrument or bow, or simply want more
information on what these instruments are and where they came from, you've come to the right place!
Please sign my guestbook, and leave your comments so that I know you visited. Thank you
for browsing my website - enjoy!
