Da Vinci's Viola Organista



 
The Viola Organista was designed by Leonardo Da Vinci and built by Slawomir Zubrzycki.
 ‘‘This instrument has the characteristics of three we know: the harpsichord, the organ and the viola da gamba" says Slawomir Zubrzycki.

Sadly Da Vinci never got to hear his invention, but you can here!
