Full description
This amazing Italian Viola is one of the last instruments ever made by the great Emilian master Amedeo Simonazzi. The amazing golden ground colour under the varnish and the details of the personal model used such as the slightly angled and finely cut f-holes, the narrower body and the wide open corners show how deeply he was inserted in the Emilian Violin making tradition. His long and prolific career, and the high demand for high-level instruments at the region due to the vivid music scenario have demanded from Simonazzi the highest acoustic results for what his instruments are known for.
