15-3/4″ Oliver viola
This viola is made of Sitka spruce with a Red-maple, one-piece back. It also has a Red Maple neck, and Big-leaf maple ribs, with willow linings and Sitka spruce blocks.
And…I just completed it this morning (November 30th, 2012), so it is “as new as new can be.”




I will be participating in a violin-maker’s trade show at “Fairfield Inn & Suites” in Lake Oswego tomorrow afternoon (December 1st). I hope to exhibit six violas, three violins, a cello, and a five-string fiddle.
The show is open from One PM to Seven PM, and is free to all. I hope we get a lot of players attending…it is very encouraging to makers to have players test-driving their instruments.
