“ I am not a violin maker who makes the odd viola, I am a viola maker who occasionally makes a violin.”
The concept of this design is to produce a cohesive group of violas. This scaled set has been developed as a response to the demands of today’s professional player, and offers a choice of both size and tonal colour.
Whilst the aim is to maintain the continuity of form found in the traditional violin family group, these instruments are individually built to achieve a responsive instrument that is both acoustically and aesthetically rewarding.
