This is a fine old master viola, made in 1709.

No cracks under the bridge. The general nature of the varnish of this instrument allows one to visualize what a mid-18th-century italian varnish would have originally looked like: what it may lack in richness of color and depth of body it makes up for in its unadulterated texture and patina.
