Tenor viol based on model: John Rose 1598
TECHNICAL DATA
- String lenght: 595 mm
- Body lenght: 550 mm
Soundboard: Val di Fiemme Spruce (bent)
Back and sides: Bosnian maple
Neck: Bosnian maple
F/board and T/piece: Maple
Pegs, nut and nail: Boxwood
Varnish: Oil, based on fossil amber
COMMENT:
This instrument have almost 35 metres of purfiling decorations basically on every part of it.
The soundboard is made of five bent pieces of Val di Fiemme spruce ( coming from the super dried trunks we found some years ago, that waited us for more than 20 years). The sides, back, fingerboard, tailpiece and neck are made of Bosnian flamed bird’s eye maple.
The pegbox is carved in low relief and the head sculpted, figuring a male character. The face of the man is coloured black and the hair and the beard are gilded with golden leaf.
The whole instrument is varnished with oil varnish based on fossil amber and finished with an antiqued texture.
It’s the second time we make an instrument based on this model. The first one was our version of a Lyra viol with 8 sympathetic strings. We enjoyed very much that project and because of that we made this one with a maple bottom block, giving us the possibility to add sympathetic strings in future, on customer request.
