English/French Google group
I've created a new bilingual English/French gamba group for Google. After having lived more than 20 years in Paris I realize how much is not communicated from the French viol world to the English speaking one and vice-versa. That is my reason for creating the group, I hope it will be a great resource for all that love the viol.
