The master 6-string Division Bass Viol after Barak Norman (ca1692). The Barak Norman division bass viol has a slightly shorter string length designed specifically for renaissance solo bass viol repertoire. The division bass viol is also a perfect bass for a player with smaller hands. This Lu-Mi viol is made from very high quality wood and combines excellent craftsmanship with a full, rich, rounded sound and a beautiful appearance. The ribs, back and neck are made of sycamore, the top of spruce, and the fingerboard and tailpiece of sycamore with ebony veneer or birds-eye maple. The wood is fully kiln-dried for stability.

  • String length: 658 mm
  • Corpus length: 633 mm
  • Corpus width: Up 279 mm / Mid 204 mm / Low 332 mm

A well-made soloist's instrument, worth considering.

It's always a bit of a gamble buying instruments online. Apart from technical aspects there is also the subjective element: will I like it? Well, this "Division viol" is very well made. It is loud, projecting, and with a great setup: it's easy to play. To be critical, I did not like the strings, so replaced the trebles. For my taste they were a bit scratchy and a bit trebly. But strings are easily replaceable, so I never worry about that. I'm enjoying playing it, and think it good value for the money, compared to a luthier-made instrument. The top is carved rather than bent - you might have an opinion on which method is the best. The string length makes this a small bass, excellent for solo playing with or without accompaniment. I would consider buying from the Lu-Mi Master range again. The Kingham case is superb - the best I've ever had. I did not buy the bow, having a couple already.
