ViolaGiovanni Grancino was Milan’s best-known violin maker, and his viola of 1670 is a somewhat smaller instrument with a floor length of 15.75”.
It is light, lies well in the hand and is easy to play even with delicate fingers.
- Handmade in Germany by master luthier Florian Hertzsch
- Despite its shorter length, this viola is just as wide as, for example, the 16.5” standard model by Andrea Guarneri
- Due to this enormous width, it sounds pleasantly full and round

- Back, sides and scroll made of flamed maple
- Ebony fretboard
- Rosewood fittings
- Antique oil varnish with amber varnish from our own production according to the Italian model
- Thin varnish layer for unhindered vibration of the woods
