Notes:
"This large form viola, of notable interest because it still exists probably in its original dimensions, leads one to believe that it was conceived as a tenor viola."Liutai in Brescia: 1520-1724, Eric Blot, Liutai in Brescia: 1520-1724, Cremona
"Unlike other Brescian instruments, the black strips of the purfling are stained. . ."
