A fine baroque viola made by Nate Tabor in Vienna Austria. I offer the following comments by the maker: This is a large tenor viola inspired by the Ashmolean Gasparo da Salo before 1609. Although the corpus of the original is indeed quite large, this viola is surprisingly manageable due to my keeping the length of the neck root exact to the original at 12.3cm (smaller than a modern violin neck!) The very rich tenor voice is full of lovely overtones and responds like a dream. The purchasing musician can expect an instrument full of resonance and balanced tonal color. This viola was built without a form and thus the contours differ slightly to the original; very elegant outlines and narrow corners make this a unique viola inspired by a true masterpiece. All of the fittings have been made by hand, pear wood fingerboard and tailpiece. The bridge is hand cut from 18 year old maple stock. As of August 7th, 2015, this instrument will be located in Pontevedra, Spain and can be visited in person for trial. Measurements are as follows: LOB: 44cm upper bout: 19.5 middle 13.9 lower bout 25.6 total length: 70.4 Interested musicians may do a Google Search for Nate Tabor Viola and find a wealth of information, such as instrument making blogs, videos, and testimonials of talented musicians worldwide. Chagall Violins offers FREE shipping within the EU or UK - We also offer your 100% satisfaction, or money returned, so there is no risk to try this unique, handmade instrument. Finished instruments made by Maestro Tabor can be heard and are available for home trial at Bridgewood and Neizert in London.
