Somebody (JL Smith, IIRC) mentioned viola da gamba here
recently. For some great non-equal viol consort performances,
check out

http://magnatune.com/artists/phantasm

Their Jenkins album is nice, as is their "Four Temperaments"
album. And who doesn't love Gibbons?

For those of you unfamiliar with magnatune (a Berkeley company
founded by an acquaintance of mine), you can choose what to pay
for music, with 50% going to the artist, you can download
high-quality mp3, ogg, flac, or wav in most cases, and often
times download album art, scores, and other goodies. The files
have creative commons licenses, and you can share them with up
to 3 of your friends. Furthermore, you can listen in 128kbps
mp3 for free all day long.
