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 Theo May, Wiltshire

Edward’s Del Gesu model is the perfect violin for me! It has an incredible range of sound colours, great depth, resonance and response. It is also incredibly flexible, moulding to my every musical thought.
