The baryton is a bowed string instrument similar to the viol, but distinguished by an extra set of plucked strings. It was in regular use in Europe until the end of the 18th century.
The baryton has always been a rare instrument, which became somewhat widespread in southern Germany and Austria at the end of the 18th century. The most prominent baryton player was Nicholas I Prince of Esterházy (1714-1790), called the "Magnificent". According to his employment contract, the prince regularly demanded compositions "for the gamba" from Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), who had been in his service since 1761. Haydn wrote a total of 175 works with baryton, including 126 trios for baryton, viola, and cello.
