This a Gasparo da Salo model viola with a back length of 420 mm / 16 ½”. The front is made from some very old Italian spruce I acquired last year; and the back is made from some wonderfully figured poplar. The sides are matching. Like Violin 122 it is very resonant with a lovely tone and huge dynamic range.
The varnish is the same as Violin122 and glows in the same way. Very Old Italian looking!
Viola 129 made 2020 Gasparo da Salo model l.o.b. 418 mm / 16 ½ inches. (see Blog)
