介绍（中）	一种5弦混合乐器，结合了小提琴和高音小提琴的特点。小提琴是文艺复兴晚期最受尊敬的弓形乐器，只是逐渐被小提琴家族所取代。小提琴与小提琴的不同主要在于形状、琴弦数量和调音以及琴颈凹陷。所有小提琴均在膝盖之间或腿部的直立位置演奏（gamba 的意思是"腿"），弓手掌朝上。他们的声音不如小提琴家族的声音那么明亮和安静。四到六把小提琴的室内乐是在文艺复兴时期和巴洛克时代创作的，低音小提琴的独奏作品一直演奏到18世纪末。
介绍（英）	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.
