This is a very beautiful viola handcrafted in Germany with no label. The length of the back is 402mm.A professional and well-recognized luthier did a fantastic job giving this viola a fresh varnish, brand new dominant strings, new tailpiece, and tune-up. It's practically brand new, paired with an intriguing history that only the viola knows. The luthier mentioned that the interior was well constructed and said that it was most likely built during the period of WWII, either before or during. It has a very warm, distinctive sound that is pleasant to the ears. Characteristic to its size, the viola's music powerfully fills the room.  A case is included. Thank you for your time!
