Brothers Amati viola - 15 3/4" antiqued finish

Brothers Amati viola – 15 3/4″ – antiqued finish

New 15 3/4” Viola modelled on Brothers Amati 1620 with Antique finish.

Decreasing the length has certainly not had any effect on its tonal qualities and I have found that it has worked out really well. It still projects a large sound but allows the slightly smaller musician to play with additional comfort. Super easy to pull a great clean sound even close to the bridge.

Back length 15 3/4″

Upper rib height 37 mm

Upper bout 188 mm

Middle bout 124 mm

Lower bout 234 mm

Neck length 144 mm

Vibrating string length 370 mm

If you would prefer a larger instrument take a look at my Andrea Guarneri model.

A testimonial from Rachel Stonham

I was given this violin to try out while my previous one was being serviced. I wasn’t looking for a new violin at the time but I was immediately taken with the quality of the sound – in particular the range of colours it could make, which was exactly what I was trying to develop in my playing.

After visiting several other makers, I ended up deciding on this one because I felt there was a lot of potential for the sound to develop, and after having it for 6 months I’m still finding even more depth and range.

The service was great and I was surprised at how reasonable the price was – it was a really good experience all round.
