Tomaso Eberle was a violin and viola maker active in Naples during the latter half of the eighteenth century. Documented instruments bearing his label span the period 1771–1780, with dated examples from 1771 [4], 1777 [3], and 1780 [2]. His violins typically exhibit a back length of approximately 35.4–35.5 cm, consistent across multiple documented examples [3][4][5]. A single viola attributed to Eberle, dated 1780, shows a notably larger back length of 39.1 cm [2]. The catalog evidence suggests sustained workshop activity across a nine-year documented period, though biographical details regarding his training, apprenticeship, or death remain absent from available sources.
