    A good violinist who is coming to the tuning seminar on 6th May included a link to an instrument that seems both perplexing and mind boggling - http://www.mim.be/piano-viole

    Has anyone come across one before?

    Best wishes

    The youtube video of the reconstruction is pretty awesome. What a project!

    Unveiled at the NAMM show in 2013 is this wonderful beast. It's called a Wheelharp.

    With longer strings it could be pretty interesting.
