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.
