ABOUT VIOLAS OF LOVE
The Viola d'Amore or viola of love is a fretless 6-string instrument played under the chin like a violin with an extra set of sympathetic strings. About the viola d'amore, Leopold Mozart writes that the instrument sounds "especially charming in the stillness of the evening." A program of sweet sounds awaits.
