Cornet de[s] Violes French Viol Cornet English

A Cornet composed of string ranks: ranks of the Viol class according to Sumner; Irwin gives Viole d'Orchestre, Viola and Salicional as examples. Audsley mentions Viol Cornet in passing without any description; we assume it to be a synonym. Skinner gives the following example:

8, 10, 12, flat 14, 15 (no breaks)
