Scala Vilagio F.H. G. Grancino Viola 1670

Viola

Giovanni Grancino was Milan's best-known violin maker, and his viola of 1670 is a somewhat smaller instrument with a floor length of 15.75''.

It is light, lies well in the hand and is easy to play even with delicate fingers.

• Despite its shorter length, this viola is just as wide as, for example, the 16.5'' standard model by Andrea Guarneri
• Due to this enormous width, it sounds pleasantly full and round

• Ebony fretboard
• Rosewood fittings
• Antique oil varnish with amber varnish from our own production according to the Italian model
• Thin varnish layer for unhindered vibration of the woods
