An instrument made around the 1590s is the viola da gamba, a string instrument that was popular during the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. It has a fretted fingerboard and is played with a bow, similar to a violin, but is held between the legs, hence its name. The viola da gamba typically comes in various sizes, with a range of six to seven strings, and was commonly used in consort music and chamber ensembles of that era.
