The Vielle
The Vielle, or Medaeval Fiddle is built with either a flat or arched bridge for chordal (drone) style playing, or for melodic playing.  It has 5 strings and a guitar-shaped flat body with 6 tied frets.  The Vielle is a predecessor of the Viola da Gamba, and of course, the modern violin. My model employs the string length of a modern violin and it can be tuned in fifths so learning to play the vielle is  greatly simplified. Historically, there were many tunings used in different periods and for different styles.
