The Lu Mi Violone patterned after Ernst Busch is designed to play with G tuning. It works well for fast passages due to the 89 cm string length.

The Ernst Busch Violone is available in standard and master quality. The master quality viol has decorative inlay on the back and English style decoration on the belly. The fingerboard and tailpiece are ebony over maple in the deluxe model and maple only in the standard model. Carved scroll and pegboxes and/or dragon heads are available as well as antique varnish.
