Nice!

I had looked at these offerings, but think too expensive!

Maybe if I ever treat myself to a proper MPE keyboard (The LinnStrument looks interesting and I have enough plasticine left in my brain that I could learn to play it) then I'll reconsider maybe some of the woodwinds and strings?

Tell me, how easy is it to change the tone and make your 'cello' into a Viola da Gamba???

Really beautiful this Sonata by Cirri. He is an author I really did not know. It's really amazing how today we are able with physical models to realize such perfect sounds of the strings....
Thank you very much for sharing it.

Hallo DEZ

Thank you very much for your message. I'm glad you enjoyed the music.
I used an existing violoncello for the recording. Unfortunately, I cannot make a change to the viola da gamba as I do not have sufficient knowledge of this instrument.

Best regards
