The balance between size and comfort is crucial in the design of the viola, as its length influences the distance between the notes and the ease of handling the instrument. This makes the choice of size an important decision for each violist, adapting to his or her physique and playing style, thus ensuring a comfortable and satisfying musical experience.
The custom design of the instrument based on harmonic proportions, is the crucial part in creating a viola that sounds incredible, but also bearing in mind the comfort for the player allowing for a truly satisfying playing experience for the violist. Harmonic proportions, based on musical intervals, aim to balance the distribution of the different parts of the instrument to optimise both sound and ergonomics.
From an acoustic point of view, adjusting the proportions of the viola body according to harmonic rules ensures better resonance, projection and clarity of sound.
Ergonomically, a viola that follows these proportions allows the player to maintain a natural and relaxed position.
