This Viola 42cm was made by Hervé upon my own 2018 personal design.

The back is made in one piece Marple wood. The same wood is used on the ribs and scroll. The top is made in spruce with a plain annual ring pattern. The ff holes have cut  has been proporzioniate to increase the geometrical proportion with the body length and also to enhance the sound projection maintaining a natural tone color. The dimension of the neck (146mm) and the stop (223mm) for a string-length of 372mm give more ease to play the viola even on the more difficult pieces.
