An entirely original design of my own — not copied from any old master's pattern, but built from years at the bench. At 39.5cm, this viola speaks with a warm, round voice and a generous projection that fills a room without ever turning harsh. A personal model, built simply to show what this workshop is capable of. Sound excerpts coming soon.
