Notes:
This viola closely resembles Panormo's viola 66323, with the same bout measurements but a slightly shorter back length. It also shares the same slightly short, delicate corners and typical flattish curve on the upper pegbox, culminating in a narrow throat where the remains of a saw cut can sometimes be seen. The blocks and linings are of spruce, which appears fairly typical for these early instruments. Vincenzo was obviously not concerned with positioning his location pins in the same place every time and although they are often placed centrally on one-piece backs, this is not the case here. Although proving impossible to date, the spruce used for the front is cut from the same tree as the violin 68943.Panormo – the life and work of Vincenzo and his sons.
