Monsieur Demachy

Monsieur Demachy (also called Le Sieur de Machy) was a French viol player, composer, and music teacher active during the second half of the seventeenth century. His first name is not recorded. Demachy is remembered principally for his Pièces de violle en musique et en tablature (1685), a valuable source of information on performance practices on the viola da gamba.
