"Francois
Tourte" |
|
|
|
Viola
model after Francois Tourte. This silver-mounted example is made from
dark bania. In this case I included the silver liner under the frog-which
Tourte did not use. Not too heavy, about 69 grams. Strong and clear, but
like to original, not super stiff.

Viola
model after Peccatte. This example is an octagonal, gold-mounted stick
made from unusual stiff Wamara, with silk and gold tinsel wrapping. Original
from Pernambuco. 70.5 grams. Finest playing qualities for the modern artist.
