Quinton in Viol Form mid to late 18th century French or German A 5-string hybrid instrument combining features of the violin and treble viol.Viols were the most esteemed bowed instruments of the late Renaissance, and they were only gradually displaced by the violin family. Viols differ from violins chiefly in shape, in number of strings and tuning, and in having fretted necks. All viols are played in an upright position between the knees or on the legs (gamba means "leg"), and the bow is held palm upwards. Their sound is less brilliant and quieter than that of the violin family. Chamber music for a consort of four to six viols was composed during the Renaissance and Baroque eras, and solo works for the bass viol were being played until nearly the end of the 18th century..

Violoncello ca. 1800 Attributed to François-Louis Pique Piques work embraces a particularly interesting period in the design and performance practice of violin-family instruments. Models shifted from the instruments of Stainer and Amati to those of Stradivari—popularized by the virtuoso Jean-Baptiste Viotti and the growing preference for brighter and louder-sounding instruments. The relatively flat arching of this cello reflects these changes. Description: Back in two pieces of quarter-sawn, wide-flame maple; similar sides; front in two pieces of medium grain spruce narrowing toward the edges; orange-brown varnish crackled in small areas toward the edges; modern neck and fittings, original scroll grafted on..

Banjo ca. 1859 Hercules McCord American This banjo was produced by Hercules McCord from St. Louis, MO, around 1859, during the height in popularity of the blackface minstrelsy. Its large size suggests that it was made for the minstrel stage. Prior to the advent of the mass production and marketing of banjos after the Civil War, instruments were custom made or produced in small batches. This example is hand crafted and likely unique. The peghead is finely sculpted in the shape of a scrolled cello peghead. The 5th string enters a tunnel at the 5th fret position and travels through a groove on the top edge of the fingerboard to a violin-style tuning peg that is mounted into a rounded wooden outrigger attached to the bass side of the peghead. The fingerboard is fretless, a feature that would remain popular until the turn of the twentieth century, and thin ivory strips are inlayed into the fingerboard as fret markers in lieu of actual frets. The skin head is tightened over the wood hoop by

Jíbaro Guitar Puerto Rican late 19th Century This rare guitar and a tiple in a private collection are the only known 19th-century Puerto Rican stringed instruments to survive. This jíbaro (country) guitar reflects the shape of the bordonúa and maintains similar construction. Unlike the bordonúa, small thorns attach the top to the hollowed body like tacks used on earlier Spanish models, and it has only five gut strings. Designs, reminiscent of African textiles, are carved and incised on the guitar's body.

Yueqin (). Culture: Chinese. Dimensions: Height: 22 5/8 in. (57.5 cm)Depth: 1 9/16 in. (3.9 cm)Diameter (Of body): 13 9/16 in. (34.5 cm). Date: 19th century.The resemblance of this round lute to the full moon (yue) gave it its name. The yueqin developed from a much larger long-necked lute that appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties. Its four strings are tuned in pairs, a fifth apart. Like the sanxian, it encloses a vibrating plate. Found in popular ensembles and the Beijing opera and used to accompany song, the yueqin has not been fully embraced by the modern Chinese orchestra. The player presses the strings between the high frets making chord playing difficult but giving increased control over the timbre and intonation. Strings are plucked with fingernails or a pick using up- and down-strokes and tremolo techniques that sustain and give color to a tone. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Upright (Giraffe) Piano ca. 1830 German This small upright piano, is referred to as a modified "giraffe" piano. Like the much taller giraffes, the case is assymetrical, following the shape created by the length of the strings from the longest (bass) to the shortest (treble) strings. Quite unusually, the strings of this piano are placed horizontally instead of vertically. The longest string is at the top of the case, taking advantage of the long angle of the case. The shortest string is at the bottom of the soundboard closest to the keys. Technical description: modified giraffe piano with strings angled toward the treble, rosewood veneer over softwood and oak case, light wood striping, red coth within front panel above keys, sinuous double pedestal legs of square section with beveled, serpentine stretcher supporting lyre-shaped pedal lyre, also veneered and inlaid; Compass FF-g4 (75 keys), ivory naturals, ebony slips over dark-stained accidental blocks; two pedals, right lifting dampers
