Workshop Viola

by | Dec 28, 2011 | Violin making

We’re enjoying a break over the holiday period and the workshop opens again January 3rd.

Just before Christmas I took the photo below of my assistant, Charline Dequincey, doing the finishing touches on her next viola.  The viola is based on a 17th Century instrument by Maggini.  I found several pieces of great maple that were very close in appearance to the original viola.

I’m looking forward to hear how Charline’s viola sounds and I’ll start varnishing my version of the Maggini model viola in the new year.
