Following the success of the first book, Ganassi publishes a tutor for the Viola d’arco, an instrument so new that the luthiers have not yet agreed on its shape. In this Regola Rubertina and its sequel Lettione Seconda, he shows aspiring Viola d’arco players everything they need; from how to hold the instrument and how to tune the strings and frets, to which instruments form a consort, or how to arrange polyphony or compose a ricercar.
