-IN GENERAL-
stringlength: 580mm.
This instrument has a large carrying sound. Still the typical delicate
timbre of the lirone is preserved. Easy to play and very open.
The linings and roset are like the original. The pegbox (19th century)
is replaced by a model seen on a lira da braccio of 1580, which I found
more suitable.
the prices
are from:
€ 9500,00 (incl. 19% VAT, for EU citizens)
€ 7980,00 (excl. 19% VAT, for non EU
citizens)

-THE ORIGINAL-
the original instrument is part of the collection of "Musikinstrumenten
Museum der Universität Leipzig in Germany. They gave me the
upportunity to measure and study it. Dated 1592
-ABOUT ANTONIO
BRENSIUS-
Not much is known about him, except that he has worked in Bologna.
