I have enough of a challenge trying to play a standard 6 string bass viol without trying the 7 string French type bass

 
Me too. My wife has. 6-string bass viol, which I’ve been playing for a while, but I’ve just recently received a 7-string, and am ‘in transition’. Most of my repertoire remains for six strings. 
 

Good to know there’s another viol player here!
