Viola: 16" David Prentice, Toronto 1997 (XVA23242)

For fourteen years, David Prentice has been working in Flesherton, Ontario building instruments for players in North America and Europe. This viola is a remarkable example of his fine work. Its sound is extraordinarily rich, complex, colorful, and clean. The bow moves smoothly and deeply across the string. It is elegantly crafted, boasting a gorgeous one-piece maple back and a double purfling. This would be the ideal instrument for an advanced student or professional looking for more a more complex sound.
