Was at the Victoria and Albert museum yesterday, and saw this instrument - The Baryton 🎻 This is what the description said: The baryton was a bass instrument with two sets of strings, one played with a bow, the other plucked or allowed to vibrate to create harmonies. Principally a chamber music instrument, it was particularly popular in central Europe. One enthusiast was Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, who performed baryton works composed by his court musician Joseph Haydn When I studied music, I learnt about that last bit, so was happy to see it referenced in the wild 😜

Is that why there's something called the baritone voice?

That's great! I've always admired a baritone voice. My father has it too. 😅
