Looks like there's a label inside. If so, what does it say?

I've never been able to make sense of that. Why would you skimp on the one dimension of a bass that can't really make it very much lighter, cheaper, or more portable?

Well, uh, add a removable neck, build it to higher quality, and voila!

All I got was the photos...from an elderly lady who says she can't see inside. I know, it's weird...just trying to decide if its worth going to see it.

That's a pretty big viola.

Aha. With a removable neck, it begins to make sense.
