Leonardo da Vinci’s forgotten musical invention

The instrument wasn’t built during Leonardo da Vinci’s lifetime, and it was only in 2013 that Polish instrument-maker Sławomir Zubrzycki built the first example. The unusual instrument is a hybrid of elements from a harpsichord, an organ and a viola da gamba. “I have no idea what Leonardo da Vinci might think of the instrument I’ve made, but I’d hope he’d be pleased,” Zubrzycki said, at the instrument’s unveiling concert in Krakow.
