Viola da Gamba – Helmut Buchsteiner, 1977

For sale is a Viola da Gamba from family ownership, built in 1977 in the master workshop of Helmut Buchsteiner (according to the original label inside the instrument).

The instrument has not been played for approximately 10 years. The previous player has passed away, so I cannot provide reliable information about its current playability.
