Instruments
Handmade Violas
Violas with a warm, rich tonal character and responsive playability, handcrafted from carefully selected solid tonewoods.
Overview
Our violas are handcrafted from solid tonewoods and voiced for a warm, rich tonal centre. As with all our instruments, we build with solid wood — never plywood or laminates.
Each viola is individually inspected and set up so it responds well under the bow and plays comfortably. The aim is a full, singing middle voice with clarity across the range.
