7-string bass viol
after Michel Colichon, Paris 1689
This instrument is based on the 1689 Colichon from the collection Grumbt in Witten. It is slightly smaller than the 1691 Colichon and bigger than the Paris Colichon from 1683.
I find this instrument very elegant and a good size.
body length 69.5 cm, string length 70.8 cm
