This instrument is a copy of the Girolamo Amati “Estense” viola from 1625, displayed in the Galleria Estense of Modena (IT). LoB 409mm, clean workmanship and lightly antiqued, respecting the original’s close-to-mint condition despite its almost four centuries of age. This viola was acquired by the prestigious “Carriage House Violins” shop in the Boston area.

Copy of the 1570 Gasparo da Salò played by Amihai Grosz. LoB 410mm, to my great pleasure this viola won the violin making competition “I Suoni del Legno” organised by the Società Filarmonica of Trento (IT), which acquired it and now gives it on loan to talented young Italian musicians.

Instrument inspired by the 1570ca Gasparo da Salò viola played by Amihai Grosz. LoB 410mm, the strong asymmetry is due to the moldless construction technique. This viola was commissioned and acquired by the musician Chizuru Deguchi.
