A beautiful instrument

I recently purchased a Lu-Mi Master 6 String Bass Viol at the LIFEM exhibition, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my decision. Before purchasing, I attended a demonstration where Susanna Pell performed on the very instrument I ended up choosing. Her performance highlighted this viol’s beautiful tone and resonance, which were key factors in my decision. As a professional musician new to string instruments, I greatly appreciated Susanna’s guidance. She was incredibly helpful, offering honest insights about the instrument and helping me select the perfect bow to suit my needs. I am already managing to produce some pleasing sounds on this lovely instrument. It also looks absolutely beautiful, with patterns much like the Meares it is modelled on. This bass viol is an absolute joy to play, and I’m very pleased with my purchase.

Lu-Mi Meares Bass Viol

From consulting with staff at the Early Music Shop to actual receipt of the instrument, everything has been top notch! The viol itself is very well made, sounds great, and has thoroughly exceeded my expectations! Thank you!
