Viola da Gamba Treble/Alto

thingiverse

This is a Treble/Alto (depending on the stringing) Viola da Gamba. Its belly and back must be crafted from 2mm wood. A slot in the neck accommodates a 20x5mm wooden bar for enhanced stability. Printing with carbon fiber reinforced filament and bonding with epoxy will yield a good resonance body. Don't overlook gluing a bass bar and a sound post onto the belly. However, I have not yet tested this design, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
