This next instrument, pictured below, is a treble viol after John Hoskins 1609. The original, now in the Shrine to Music Museum, was converted to a viola at some point during its life, however enough of it survives intact to enable a copy to be made. This instrument was made it with a 40 cm string length and a bent front, as in the original. The instrument pictured has a walnut fingerboard and tail piece, with laburnum pegs.
