Product Info

This Scala Vilagio is a beautifully crafted instrument, channeling the historical Brescia school of viola making. The shorter string length, thanks to the Maggini design, makes it surprisingly comfortable despite the larger body, and delivers a rich, powerful tone. It's an excellent choice for serious students and professionals seeking a uniquely responsive and expressive viola.
Product Description
Scala Vilagio F.H. Maggini Viola 1610, Viola
- Maggini's viola model from 1610 is one of a kind. Violinmakers in Brescia often set the F-holes slightly higher than would later become usual in Cremona. This means that the bridge also slides up and the top scale is shortened by a few millimetres
- something that can also be seen in this model. Despite its 16" body
- the viola is therefore very comfortable to play. The player benefits from the large body volume and still enjoys the easy playability of a smaller viola due to the shorter string length.
