Good Mittenwald Sandner viola (sold)
A good large Mittenwald viola. The instrument was made in the Sandner ateliers in Mittenwald in the 1970'ies. The bodylength is 40,7 cm. The top is made of very nice fine/medium grained spruce, the back is a two piece back of mildly flamed Mittenwald maple. The golden orange varnish is in excellent condition with hardly any signs from playing. The viola is very well preserved, undamaged and in immediate playing condition. The sound is a typically strong dark Mittenwald sound of power and a clear darkish character. Special recommendation!
