The Valencia #Baryton Project www.valenciabaryton.com
A cross between the viola da gamba and lirone, with 10 resonating and plucked strings down the back of the instrument, the baryton gives the traditional string trio an entirely new dimension.

#ValenciaBarytonProject founded by #MatthewBaker with the vision of performing nearly 170 works written by Franz Joseph #Haydn as well as other wks. Haydn wrote 123 works as the court composer for #PrinceEsterhazy of Austria
