Professinal Level Instrument (4/4)

With baroque bridge, baroque fingerboard, baroque tailpiece, baroque neck

This is made by Diao, our Chinese violinmaker and is a copy of a late 17th century viola, labelled with Maker’s Signature with year and location

Sebastian Klotz, in Mittenwald, An. 17**

About Baroque music and how different it is from classical music

The Baroque ideal is an arch of sound, appropriately well-sustained and well-proportioned. For Baroque music to get airborne,the line must soar. The bow is like the breath of a singer. To quote Donington : “Phrases generally go to a peak note, which is often though not always the highest note, and then relax to a note given away at the end. There is the unit; that much, and no less nor more, is the phrase; and it is for our own musicianship to recognize the fact. Nothing in the notation and nothing in the historical evidence, is going to show us the pattern if our own musicianship does not.” To achieve this, the modern violinist (with modern instrument) would have to slow down the bow, use less of it, and play into the string with the hair a little flatter and near the bridge.

Why are Baroque instruments always so expensive.

Because modern violinmakers no longer makes baroque instruments actively, those who do make them charges a high premium for it. Those customers whom I have spoken with actively will know I’ve spent over 1 year searching to make an accurate copy of baroque instruments. After much experimentation, I’m happy to say our current copy is a rather accurate one. If you open up the cello, you will see that even our bass bar is set differently from traditional modern cello.

Buyers, however, should take note there are many many version of baroque instruments. There’s no real standard for it, only a more commonly available one. Our baroque instruments has been tested and examined by 8 baroque orchestral players from Spain, UK and NY, and has been acceptable by their standards.

Measurements (in mm)

Top: 167. Middle: 110. Bottom: 207. Body Length: 357. (For string playing length and neck length, please refer to the photos of the exact viola.)

Now you can truly experience this instrument in a baroque way!

The best feature about this viola is the powerful bright tone and the outstanding antiquating. For this new viola, the antiquating technique used is certainly thumbs up. This is made possible by the oil varnish that we buy from our luthier friend in Italy, who has taught us greatly. Matching maple, sides, neck and scroll make this a beautiful masterpiece. The response is very very good on this viola, so players will be able to master fast strokes easily. Don’t miss this outstanding viola. Professional level. Made by single luthier from start to finish.

This viola is a good quality viola from a maker that has been very consistent for tone quality. It has a beautiful amber finish. The grains of the spruce top is fine grain, with good consistency. The maple chosen is beautiful, with a good visibility into the wood grains. You can see the close-ups in the other photos. The sides, neck and scroll are also carefully chosen, and highly flamed. Playing this viola is a pleasure, especially if high notes is desired.
