To determine the MENSUR of a violin/viola, first measure the distance from the nut to the edge of the violin next to the neck. Take this total (which is 13mm on most violins), divide by two (13 cm/2=6.5 cm), and multiply by three (6.5cm x 3= 19.5cm).

In biology, a mutation is a permanent change of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements. A nonsense mutation is a point mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a premature stop codon, or a nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA, and possibly a truncated, and often nonfunctional protein product.
