baryton

after Joann Andreas Kämbl

In general

String length of the bowed strings: 646mm

A powerful and yet warm sound with bright-sounding plucked strings.

The original

The original instrument, dated 1745, belongs to the Bavarian National Museum’s collection in Munich, where I measured the instrument in 2006.
