Viola da Gamba vs Cello: what are the differences?

In this video I explain 5 big differences between the viola da gamba and the cello and I talk about something that people think it’s a difference, but it’s not! This is one of my most requested videos. If you have any other questions, please ask in the comments! Don’t forget to turn the subtitles on to understand me better :) *** Images on this video by: Jean-Claude Billing Rijksmuseum MINIM-UK MIMO International Syntagma Musicum by Praetorius Special thanks to Emily Davidson from for letting me use her image holding a baroque cello.
