May we tempt sir with the Violone in D - five or six strings, but with frets. And not too many of them neither.

"The preferred contrabass instrument of the Viennese Classical era" ie. good for Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven etc

Weren't the frets on those just gut strings tied on ?

I assume they could easily be fine tuned to the different "temperaments" they used..

I suspect that an Arpeggione would be easier for us bass players to master given that they are tuned like a guitar.
