Baroque style Viola inspired by G.B. Grancino, Milano
A baroque viola, inspired by the Grancino family, Milano. I have made this model several times before as a modern viola. The maple back (my favourite Viola sycamore tree from 1994) is a 2 piece, cut on the 'half-slab' showing some broad and 'wilder' figure - quite common to see with Milanese instruments. The hand split spruce front from the Italian Dolomites, showing some nice hazel markings to add interest. |
This Viola is now finished and sold (photos of the making process are here )
