Viola 1655 - 1665

This viola, crafted by renowned German luthier Jacob Stainer between 1655 and 1665, is a testament to the artistry of the period. Stainer, known for his high-quality instruments, imbued this viola with a rich, warm tone. The instrument's elegant form, with its characteristically rounded body and slender neck, showcases the craftsmanship that defines Stainer's work. The warm brown varnish and intricate details, including the finely carved scroll and the placement of the sound holes, contribute to the viola's aesthetic appeal and its enduring value as a musical treasure.
