Destination: Zurich

A Commissioned Five-String Viola

A violist in Zurich, Switzerland, contacted me last year. We discussed what she was looking for, and ultimately, we arranged a commissioned five-string 15-3/4″ Viola.

It began as raw wood (European Maple and Spruce), and has progressed to a nearly completed five-string viola. (I have applied the first few coats of varnish: Yellow, to provide the “golden glow” beneath the darker coats of varnish yet to come.

Since I first posted the news on my Five String Fiddles site, this post mainly serves to direct the reader to that post ( Partial Build Photo Story.)

Thanks for looking!
