Lirone after Antonio Brensius
home < instrument cataloque < back 

  -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)
See also Terms and Conditions.

  -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.
He signed the instrument with: Antonio Brensius Bonon.
(Bonon means: from  Bologna)


  -ABOUT THE PICTURES-
The thumbnails on this page which can be enlarged by clicking on them, show you a variety of  the Brensius models I have made over the years. The name of each set of  thumbnails is the family-name of the first owner of that particular viol.
