Scala Vilagio F.H. Maggini Viola 1610

Viola

Maggini's viola model from 1610 is one of a kind. Violinmakers in Brescia often set the F-holes slightly higher than would later become usual in Cremona. This means that the bridge also slides up and the top scale is shortened by a few millimetres, something that can also be seen in this model. Despite its 16" body, the viola is therefore very comfortable to play. The player benefits from the large body volume and still enjoys the easy playability of a smaller viola due to the shorter string length.
