Music Word of the Day: Gamba, viola da
Term: Gamba, viola da
Definition: A Renaissance instrument resembling the
violin but with seven strings, "C" shaped sound holes, a wider neck, and sloping shoulders. This instrument had a softer, duller sound than that of the violin, and came in different sizes from treble to bass. The true ancestor of the modern violin, however, was the viola da braccio, or "arm viol".

Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more music knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online music dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
