Viola:
Made by Stefan Peter Greiner in Bonn in 2004.
There is no paper inside, just a small burnt mark near the
sound post "S.P.Greiner"; and the "Nr.181"
is hand-written inside also.
The viola is a Guarneri model, the corpus has a size of ca.40.7
cm (inches?). It's a very close copy of an old instrument,
like most Greiner instruments.
The
viola was in a black case with green velvet and there were
three bows with it. One by A.Lamy (an eye was missing on this
one), one by W.Salchow and one by E.Dörfler. All have
round sticks. The Dörfler bow has a silver tip.
