</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There
appears to be some confusion in the dictionaries I have consulted about
the larger stringed instruments. Both the violoncello or celloÂ
(usually Afrikaans: Tjello or Violonsel) and the Double Bass (usually
Afrikaans:Kontrabas) are called a Basviool. Perhaps Lexicographers are
better at making word lists than at being musicologists :).  </span><br></div><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></div><p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">

<div>Exactly. Violins, violas and cellos all belong to the violin
family, with both the peg end and bridge end of the instrument box
rounded.</div>
<div>Â </div>
<div>Viola da gamba, treble viol, bass viol and double bass (or double
bass viol) all have the box filleted up along the neck of the
instruments. In the modern day "bass viol" is synonomous with "double
bass viol" unless you happen to be an old music nut. Among the latter
"bass viol" is a cello sized instrument with frets, which one bows with
the bowing hand supinated. Both the bowing and frets reduce the musical
dynamics, as required for renaissance and baroque music.</div>
