What's the name for this type of viola?

Wasn't even sure how to search for it. I know these tend to be a gimmick but I thought I'd pick one up to try it.

Simply call it a figurado and you're set

Ok guys, I meant type of violin... please pay attention.
... damn autocorrect.

almost like an 11/18....close, very close.....
possibly a trompeta
figurado is a safe call

no Cuban vitola like this

small snake that ate a mouse?

I'd just go with figurado too

OP, in all seriousness, It looks like a perfecto or salomon that they flared the foot out almost even.

I totally don't understand the point of this shape.

easier to light smaller end
builds in strength towards the middle and maintains to the end.
visually pleasing, and no cinch to roll.
I would like to try this shape.

Interestingly enough, there is an Opus X 'Python' (I believe a one-of or something just for display) that is shaped like what the OP posted. Not sure if that's why they named it the Python but it makes sense with your description come to think of it.

(I'd post the picture but the google image links to another forum)

Someone in the homerollers made a mold for this size... @Marc_L do you roll these?
