Da Salo's violas are still considered among the best ever made, and modern copies are often sought after by professional players. This is a slightly larger version of Lu Mi's small da Salo viola. This instrument is sold with a hard case and is available with an antique stain finish. Dimensions: String length 378mm Corpus length
