Sebastian: Here we go again. My next creation will be another 5-string viola/violin. There are two reasons: One, I like to repeat my successes. Repetition creates mastery.

That extra viola size just makes the lower C string reverberate, and the slightly smaller upper bouts provide the “violin” sound on the “A” and “E” treble side of the instrument
