The Thomann Portuguese Viola Amarantina is known for its unique appearance that complements the characteristic tonal quality it produces. Its top is made from finely selected spruce that provides bright resonance with beautiful articulation at the upper mid and top end. The superior craftsmanship used for the mahogany body, makes the most of the warm acoustics of tonewood. This Viola Amarantina has an Australian blackwood fretboard that dampens the sharpness in the tone to make it sound round and soft. The scale length of 508mm mixes more sweetness in the tone by highlighting the low end. The beautiful artwork on the instrument's two heart-shaped sound holes and around the edges accentuate the viola amarantina looks.
