Features:

A Remarkable Italian Viola Made by the Master Classical Guitar Maker, Rodolfo Paralupi
Rudolfo Paralupi (1890 - after 1950) was a superb guitar maker who were active in Rome, who possessed the skill that won him a gold medal in a competition in Cremona in 1949. For that reason, the numbers of violin family he worked on were limited.
This viola, made in 1949 in Rome, is an extremely rare piece and has a unique shape that could not have been conceived by any ordinary violin makers. This was purely the result of his pursuit to strike a balance between 'playability and sound quality’, which is a common proposition to all instruments.
Its playable size combined with its ability to ‘sing’ as a viola, this precious Italian viola is highly recommended for all including professional players.
