The Bass viol is a bowed box-lute chordophone of Renaissance Europe. It is the bass-register member of the viol family of bowed and fretted string instruments played in a vertical position; the Italian name for the instrument is ‘viola da gamba,’ which means ‘leg viol’ and describes how the instrument is held either between or resting on the player's calves. During the Renaissance period and well into the Baroque, viols were played as consorts to perform polyphonic music often in accompaniment of voices.
