| DBJ says " With the invention of specially
tensioned strings, the Violectra Viola has the opportunity of many
combinations. Two 5 string instruments with the popular low F tuning
or as a high E tuning. With the arrival in 1998 of a Bb string the
combination of a higher (E A D G C F) or lower (A D G C F Bb) tuning
also exists. The 7 string benefits from a complete range." |
| Viola players can presently choose between
three instrument sizes i.e. 15½", 15
7/8" & 16 3/16" // 39.4cm, 40.4cm & 41.1cm length
of back. New models can
be made to measure." See Standard Features below... |
