Hello friends,
Can anyone depict step by step to make a Viola d'amore.
I want to know the dimensions, wood thickness, and any special bracing (if required).
1) Any difference in making with the regular viola?
2) How many possible ways are there to install the sympathetic strings?
3) Which strings (playing strings) will work better metal or gut and what will be the differences in volume and sustain?
4) If I want to buy one what should be the price difference with the viola?
Any suggestion is welcome...
Merry Christmas to all
Sobers |

Thank you Andres,
Yes I know about the society and I've gone through all the available videos of Viola d'amore, Viola da gamba and Bowed guitar but thanks for the other links, I will read with care.
Do you have any idea of the price difference with regular viola? |
