Lot Title
An Exceptional English Viola by Benjamin Banks, Salisbury 1793
Description
Property of a Gentleman. This wonderful viola was the former property of Josef Corfe, organist at Salisbury Cathedral (1792-1804) and it is likely that he purchased the viola directly from Benjamin Banks in 1793. It has remained in the same family by descent ever since. Retaining the original neck, fingerboard and tailpiece, it is in a very fine state of preservation.
