Viola by Charles Ervin Violins, Inc. Modeled after Andrea Amati, Cremona, 1574
One of the earliest violas in existence, the original by Andrea Amati has been the concert instrument of a solo artist. It was featured in Simone Sacconi's book, The Secrets of Stradivari, 1972. Its dimensions are: length 418 mm, width upper bouts 202 mm, width lower bouts 404 mm. Dr. Ervin met with the artist in order to measure and photograph the viola directly.
