Thread Name: Tech: Tenor violas
Subject: Tech: Tenor violas
I am now making Tenor Violas (FCGD) as well as octave violins and chin cellos. I was reading about pre 1820 composers who wrote for them, with the parts later converted to cello.
Has anyone ever heard of a high soprano violin, above the "standard " GDAE ( DAEB)?
I am looking into modifying a 3/4 into one, but wonder if there is music written specifically for it.
