Viola Organista op. 4 (2025)

Viola Organista op. 3 (2023)

The next instrument was built in 2023. It differs from the previous ones in the construction of the bow, which is in the form of an endless belt, not wheels. Thanks to this solution, the arrangement of the strings is parallel to the surface of the soundboard, similar to harpsichords or pianos. The sound characteristics are also different compared to the two previous instruments. Both types of bow were sketched by Leonardo da Vinci. The decoration of the instrument is based on patterns of the Florentine school from the 16th century.

Viola Organista op. 2 (2021)

In 2021, Sławomir Zubrzycki built a second instrument, which is the result of further research and concert experience from 2013-2019. Some solutions have been optimized, the overall length has changed, and the control over the sound gives new possibilities of expression and interpretation.
