Thank you! The collection that includes this Allemande was compiled by André Danican Philidor the elder. The piece does however not specify the name of a composer, and comes in just a Dessus and Basse part, missing the middle voices.
Both Anne-Linde and Octavie are playing a 'Basse de Violon', the large predecessor of the cello. It is tuned a whole tone lower than a cello (low to high: Bb-F-C-G), and in this case also at low pitch (a'390Hz, approximately a whole tone below a'440Hz). These instruments come with and without frets, it is a matter of taste of the player, or just how the instrument they are using happens to be set up.
Beautiful sound from the group! That piece is well worth the effort it took to reconstruct the inner parts...thanks, Matthijs!
Thank you!!
Wat een prachtig stuk! Ik hoop dat ik jullie snel weer live hoor spelen❤
Dankjewel! Hopelijk tot snel!!
Beautiful - which Philidor is this by?

A Cello with frets? A Double Bass? What is the name of this instrument? 🤔 *thx*
