14" Czech Viola, workshop of Ladislav F. Prokop, 1917

$650.00

This 14” Czech viola was a full size violin that was converted to a viola presumably by the late violinmaker, David Soest. It was likely made in the Prokop workshop, and not by Prokop himself. A higher neck angle projection, a larger bridge, and viola strings were put on this instrument to make it a working viola. This would make for a good instrument for any young student of the viola, or it would be great for violinists or fiddlers wanting to easily transition to a viola without having to learn new muscle memory. The tone can be described as warm, even, rich, and mellow.
