We specialize in hand-crafted instruments that are not readily available at the traditional music store such as the viola d'amore and the violetta.

The viola d' amore is a 17th century instrument that has 14 strings and spans the range of both a violin and a viola. Seven strings are played while seven understrings sound to the harmonic vibrations of the overstrings.

We have two models to choose from:

Viola d'amore (Bavarian 1743)
Viola d'amore (Seraphine 1723)

Plans are also available if you are a builder and would like to build one yourself. Viola d'amore plans sell for $45.00 each.

Viola d'amore (Bavarian 1743)

Viola d'amore (Seraphine 1723)

We have two viola d'amore instruments currently in use by the Brigham Young University music department.

Our viola d'amores are designed from plans drawn up from measurements taken from the original instruments.

Contact us for price quotes on viola d'amores and violettas.
