Scala Vilagio F.H. Gasparo da Salo Viola

Viola

Gasparo Bertolotti "daSaló" is one of Brescia's most successful violin makers. He was not only a musician himself, which helped him to perfect the sound of his instruments, but also instructed important luthiers such as Maggini. He is known for his incredibly full and deep-sounding instruments, including the small viola from 1580. The high arches of the top and back plate and the enormous width of the body contribute to this volume of sound. It is a very light viola with a short scale and a large sound. This Gasparo is ideal for delicate fingers and violists looking for an instrument that is easy to play.
