Valenti, Leonardo Viola, 16"

      Nicely figured maple back and sides with close even grained Italian spruce top widening toward flanks.  Tone is full and robust with excellent projection and amplitude on par with larger violas.  Symphonic quality beyond your typical committee made instrument.  Constructed in 2015 in Beijing, China and acquired from Amber Strings.  Factory set up with ebony fittings and Helicore strings.
