Handmade American Viola, Sound Sample – Schubert Arpeggione Sonata-played by student Violinist

One of several violas in this collection; played by a student violinist. The piece is an excerpt from Schubert’s Arpeggione (written for cello). This viola is part of a collection of fine instruments that are being sound sampled here on Youtube. For the most part, these instruments have not been played in many years. These student violinists are taking them out of the case, tuning them and playing them sight unseen…old strings, etc.
