Rainer W Leonhardt Viola, No 200, 16.5"

With a powerful, dark, cello-like sound, this viola is also remarkably agile and responsive. Great balance across the strings, and easy to play. Tonewood from Leonhardt's managed supply assures stability for the long-term and allows a mature sound to emerge. This viola has a very appealing varnish in a deep red over a golden ground, and delicate outlining.

The Leonhardt Workshop, producing quality bowed instruments since 1926, is situated in the small town of Mittenwald. This center of South German lutherie has a 350 year tradition of violin making. The Leonhardt workshop has graduated from its humble beginnings to an atelier of master craftsmen. Shop founder Anton Dietl was succeeded by his son-in-law Wilfried Leonhardt – himself son Mittenwald luthier Fritz Leonhardt (plucked instruments). Wilfried Leonhardt has in turn been followed by his own son, master luthier Rainer W. Leonhardt (1997). Considering Rainer W. Leonhardt's passion for excellent craftsmanship, it comes as no surprise that he is also manager of the renowned Mittenwald Museum of Violin Making.
