ᐃᓗᓕᖏᑦ
This viola, by one of the finest English makers of the late eighteenth century, is in unaltered condition. Its body size is small, both in comparison with seventeenth-century violas and those preferred by modern players. The neck construction represents a transitional stage between traditional and modern styles.
