Viola

This viola is scaled down and modified version of the “Conte Vitale” 1676 viola by Andrea Guarneri (1623-1698) di Cremona. The distinctive high arching creates a large air volume within the body resulting in a deep, rounded tone that is powerful and sensitive. The head has been reduced to make it lighter and more comfortable. The golden spirit varnish is reminiscent of the original instrument.
