Violone

The Violone is a large, deep string instrument from the violin family, often used in early music and baroque ensembles. It features a long neck and a wide body, producing lower-pitched sounds that provide foundational harmony to the group. Typically played with a bow, the Violone’s deep tones add richness and depth to musical compositions. Its design is similar to a large cello or double bass but with a distinct role, serving as the bass instrument in many historical ensembles. The Violone helps create a full, resonant sound, anchoring the music's harmonic framework.
