SAINPRAE, Jacques, Berlin, 17th century. A Baryton Viol of this maker
is among the musical instruments at the Kensington Museum. It is said
to have belonged to Johann Quantz, the famous flute-player.[2] The
Baryton was a favourite instrument with Haydn. He composed several
pieces for the instrument, and was fond of playing it. The Baryton, or
Viol di Bordone, is of the character of the Viole d'Amour, being
strung with sympathetic metal strings. It is, however, a large and
more complicated instrument.

[Footnote 2: The flute-playing of Johann Joachim Quantz in 1728 gave
so much pleasure to the Crown Prince of Prussia, afterwards Frederick
the Great, that he decided to take lessons from Quantz, who was then
in the service of Augustus, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.
Quantz was stationed alternately in Dresden and Warsaw. He became a
member of the orchestra of Augustus in 1718, when Jean Baptiste
Volumier was its director, of whom mention has been made (page 208)
relative to his having been sent to Cremona in 1715 to await the
completion of twelve Violins ordered of Stradivari.]
