I play viola in a number of symphonies as well as playing baroque instruments. The eight string viola is of my own design, and is one of a kind. The "lung" viola has a rich viola sound and plays easily. The lower sympathetic strings can be used or muted as desired.

I have made a number of custom baroqe instruments including a violetta, and several viola d' amore. I will be happy to work with you on any custom design you may have.
