This is a Viola!
That’s what I have to tell everyone who picks up this “violin.”
Indeed, it is exactly the same length as a violin.
Its unique shape stands out among all the violins and attracts immediately the attention of all violinists who visit the workshop.
The idea to build a violin-sized viola came from a customer in California who wanted an instrument that felt like a violin to play, but had the sound of a viola.
To achieve this, I redesigned the body to be wider and built it with higher ribs.
To make the most of this setup, we used short-scale viola strings.
And here we are! I love it.
For those looking for a viola as small as a violin, this is it.
Here you see it as a Scala Perfetta, but we could also make it as a handmade Linea Macchi model from our workshop.

HOW IT'S MADE
SCALA PERFETTA
Master Edgar Russ partners with European workshops to create affordable and high-quality string instruments. Each violin, viola, cello, or double bass undergoes detailed inspections, refinements, varnishing, and precise setup.
The finishing process remains similar to the one used for Master Instruments, despite the difference in materials. Our workshop team devotes meticulous attention in order to deliver an instrument that is beginner-friendly and also suitable as a second/travel option.
