Antonio Scarlatti

AS-202 Lionel Tertis Viola


A Tertis model Viola has narrower upper bouts, wider lower bouts, and taller ribs. This maximizes the volume of air of the body, allowing the musician to easily access the higher register by reaching around the narrower upper bouts. 

 

 

Concert level. Richly-flamed maple back and ribs, well-seasoned spruce top, inlaid purfling, and ebony fingerboard, nut and saddle. Includes ebony pegs, endbutton, and side-mount chinrest. Antique spirit varnish with a deep brown, medium-gloss finish.
