Viola and Natalia

It is an absolute pleasure to see Natalia (41) return for another shoot. I was only a month ago when she posed with my harmonica. We were both hoping that she was going to bring an instrument which was native to her homeland but unfortunately, that did not happen. This time is was fortunate to have my friend and assistant Irene in the studio.

The viola was developed in 16th century Italy (c 530-1550s) as part of the violin family. The viola is slightly larger than the violin which produces a lower tone.
