This viola was made entirely from start to finish with the unparalleled craftsmanship of our head luthier. It's rare that violin makers also excel in the set-up process, but we are fortunate to have a true master in our midst.
This viola has a wonderful tone; very clear with an inviting resonance. The instrument is a good weight, not too heavy, and is very comfortable to play.

Why do we make these comparison videos?
We know that purchasing a string instrument is a big decision, and every instrument is unique. Since you might not live nearby, or be able to play the instrument (yet) we're here to play them for you and let you hear the ACTUAL instrument you will receive.
We make these videos for instruments at the Master level and higher, and request that it be used for serious inquiries only since they are very labor intensive. To have one made with some of the instruments you are considering, contact us: Email: [e-mail], or Phone: [phone].

Thanks for watching!

Do you play violins from American luthiers?
I'm sorry if I misheard what you said.
Thank you for that Master and Commander tune. They both sound very nice. Violas I think you said. I like their sound better. It's deeper. Very nicely played.

Thanks for watching! We do carry violins by Martin Sheridan or Craig Weinfuss if you are looking for violins from an American Luthier. Andres Martinez Bilva is out Master Luthier here at Fiddlershop and his instruments are made here, for the exception of his 2012 Cremona violin :)
